From the Lost Lake Trailhead its a pretty mild hike up to Lower Lost Lake. The trail is mostly dirt, but rocky in spots. There are several areas up here that would make a good ceremony site. This particularly one has the Lower Lost Lake in the foreground with the Cottonwood Pass summit in the background. You could even turn around and have a view down the valley here, but there are some better spots for that along the trail. Co Rd 306 is an easy winding drive up from Buena Vista and the parking is all on the roadside. As far as roadside parking goes, there’s a lot of it on both sides of the road. Cottonwood Pass is typically closed from November through May depending on snowfall and this site will be equally inaccessible. There are no restrooms here or nearby so plan in advance for that. The trees up here are sparse which allows for some views down the valley. There are no trail markers so if you’re on the shoulder season (June or October) a small bit of snowfall may obscure the trail. Cottonwood Pass is a short drive up the road if you wanted to get some mountain top couples photos.
