First, just play around with the filter and see what it does. Experience in using the tool is a great place to start. You can select your criteria, reset, mark your favorites and even perform a word search. 

Once you feel comfortable with the tool, it’s time to get down to business. You need to make a short prioritized list of the deal breakers. Is aunt Debby coming in a wheelchair? Then the path type is pretty important to ensure she can get to the ceremony site. Is Crested Butte where you got engaged and now want to follow up with the ceremony? Then the nearest city might be your next choice. How about a site you can actually reserve? Then permit type is going to be pretty important too. The more filters you apply the fewer options will appear. And at some point, if you keep adding filters, you’ll finally get down to no options at all. Like we said, there is no universally perfect ceremony site. So now it’s all about tradeoffs. Maybe a reservation isn’t really that important if you can get that Mountain Overlook view you’ve always wanted. There are really so many factors and choices, that it may take you a while to really narrow in on the best site for you.
