Ute Pursuit

Friday, september 9, 2016
9:00am

Meet at the Ute Trailhead on Ute Ave.
 

Jennie and Tom will be leading a hike up the Ute Trail on Aspen mountain (also known as Ajax Mountain). This is a 30-45 minute hike that humbles even Tom. The view of the Town of Aspen at the overlook is worth the pain! Bring water, a hat and sunscreen.

For a longer hike, continue past the overlook and follow the trail through ski runs to the top of Ajax (probably another 90-120 minutes from the overlook). If you don't want to go all the way to the top, you can follow one of the many ski runs down to the bottom. If you choose to hike past the overlook, we suggest bringing a hiking stick and additional water + an energy bar. We also recommend that you stop by Ute Mountaineer or one of the Aspen Information Booth's in the center of town to get a map of the mountain. 

*NOTE THAT THE GONDOLA WILL NOT BE IN SERVICE DURING OUR WEDDING WEEKEND SO YOUR ONLY WAY DOWN FROM THE TOP OF AJAX IS ON FOOT*

Wedding Ceremony and Reception

5:00 PM

Pine Creek Cookhouse
11399 Castle Creek Road, Aspen, CO, 81611  (970) 925-1044

Attire: Aspen formal (i.e., boots & baubles; long dresses are welcome)

4:15 PM  Shuttles depart from The Gant, The Hotel Durant and Sky Hotel. Guests not staying at one of these hotels should plan to use the shuttle closest to their location. For example:

Limelight & St. Regis - use the shuttle at Hotel Durant                                                                       Aspen Square Hotel & The Little Nell - use the shuttle at Sky Hotel                                                 

The road to Pine Creek Cookhouse is unlit and perilous under certain conditions. In order to keep our guests safe and happy we ask that everyone utilize the shuttle. A car will be on standby during the reception for guests to use in case of emergency or strong need.   

5:00 PM  Ceremony begins

The ceremony will be held outside in a meadow with uneven ground. Please keep this in mind when selecting your footwear - feel free to bring a change of shoes or be prepared to carefully navigate to and from your seats. Sunglasses are also recommended.

5:45/6:00 PM  Cocktails & Appetizers

The cocktail reception will take place outside on the deck of Pine Creek Cookhouse. A shawl or extra layer is highly recommended as the air will be cold once the sun goes behind the mountains (approx. 6:00 pm).

7:00 PM  Dinner & Dancing

12:00 AM  Shuttles return guests to Aspen (an early shuttle departure will be available)  

Note that due to the awesomely remote location, cell service is spotty to nonexistent at Pine Creek Cookhouse and along much of the drive on Castle Creek Road. A land line is available at the venue for guests to use as necessary.
