On their elopement day, we met in the dark parking lot of the visitor\u2019s center before driving to one of our favorite locations for star photos in the park. The Milky Way will generally appear within the southern skies, but its exact position changes throughout the night. We love this location because it has expansive south-facing views so we can properly see the Milky Way no matter where it is! We hiked out with headlamps and lanterns and then allowed our eyes to adjust to the darkness. It was a new moon and we were lucky enough to have a cloudless sky, so the view was incredible!<\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lesbian-wedding-colorado-elopement-in-rocky-mountain-national-park-4.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"A brunette bride is wearing a white wedding gown.
