A place shaped by story
Today, the Chief Ouray Mine rests on one side of the property and the Chipeta Mine (named after Chief Ouray’s wife Chipeta) on the other. Between them lies the heart of the ranch— a mountainside where couples gather to begin their own story.
Surrounded by a landscape shaped by partnership, history, and generations of stories that came before, each celebration becomes part of something larger— a continuation of what has always drawn people here.
The Experience: A wedding that unfolds over time
Mornings begin slowly, coffee in hand, watching the light move across the mountains. Afternoons are spent exploring, preparing, and gathering. Evenings stretch into long dinners, music, and moments you’ll carry with you long after you leave.
Whether your celebration is quiet or shared, every part of the experience feels intentional and entirely your own.
