Air Travel

If you plan to fly to the wedding, we recommend flying into Portland International Airport (PDX) in Portland, Oregon. PDX is about a 45 minute drive from Stevenson, WA, where the wedding and lodging will be. Seattle, WA, and Redmond, OR, airports are both about a 3 hour drive from Stevenson.

Getting Around

We recommend renting a car at the airport to serve your transportation needs. Ubers in Stevenson are very limited. On wedding day, there will be buses to shuttle our guests from two pickup locations in the Stevenson/Carson, WA, area to the Wind Mountain Ranch venue. There is no parking on the Wind Mountain Ranch premises, so please plan on taking the shuttle bus to the wedding.
