To end a long day of travel, guests journeyed through a gorgeous mountain valley along the winding Dolores River and turned into the evening glow of Dunton River Camp’s impeccably decorated Farmhouse. This first night began with a casual barbecue welcome dinner, embracing the western country surroundings of the majestic San Juan Mountains with horses grazing in the pasture surrounding the Farmhouse. The atmosphere hummed with anticipation for their wedding day as laughter and bluegrass music echoed through the valley. The sounds of folk melodies from a live five-piece band and the tantalizing aroma of mouthwatering barbecue filled the air, setting the stage for a beautifully designed weekend ahead.

The second day, a dear friend joined them in union with a majestic mountain backdrop worthy of a timeless portrait. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the magic of nightfall ushered in an entirely different ambiance.
