From waterfalls, to breathtaking cliffs, to giant sequoias, you can take your pick when it comes to the backdrop for your proposal.

All Aboard the Houseboat: Lake Powell

If you’re looking for a private getaway without sacrificing any of the comforts of home while in nature, look no further than a private houseboat on Lake Powell. With over 2,000 miles of shoreline, you can propose at sunset on the top deck of your houseboat, or organize a private picnic in a secluded cove. Be sure to bring the bubbly for when your partner says yes.

Whether you’re cruising around North Lake Powell or South Lake Powell, there are plenty of places to anchor and hike in for fantastic views of nature. In the north, you’ll find Aleson Arch, where you can park the boat and take an easy hike up to the mesa. If you’re in the south, one of the most picturesque spots in the whole park is Rainbow Bridge.

Where to Stay: A Houseboat

If you want to be on the water for your proposal, there’s truly no better, more private, or romantic option than your own houseboat. Houseboats are available to rent at Wahweap or Bullfrog marinas with local expert training and tips to get you set up for a successful trip.

Snuggled in Dark Greenery: Olympic National Park

Olympic National Park is home to glacier-capped mountains, valleys of dark green forests, hot springs, rugged Pacific coastline, and the only rainforest in the contiguous United States. If you’re looking for a bit of drama for the backdrop of your proposal, you’ll want to try the Olympic Peninsula Waterfall Trail. Along the trail, you’ll find a variety of big and small falls.

Another option within the park is Kalaloch Beach. This area is a favorite of visitors as it shows off the rugged coastline and is home to lots of sea creatures. This is the perfect spot to set up for your sunset proposal and to get the perfect photo.

Where to Stay: Sol Duc Hot Springs

Don’t let the romance end just because the proposal is over—book a night at Sol Duc Hot Springs. At the resort, you can stay in a private cabin and take dips in the relaxing hot springs. Onsite amenities include dining and a gift shop.

Postcard-Worthy Backdrop: Lake Tahoe

There are few places as picturesque as Lake Tahoe. With crystal clear water and pebbled beaches, any photo you take will definitely be worthy of being framed. For your proposal, you’ll want to book a spot on the sunset dinner cruise. This cruise will take you out on the lake where you’ll get to enjoy the rainbow of colors as the sun dips below the horizon and create the perfect backdrop for your proposal.

Where to Stay: Zephyr Cove Resort

After your proposal, head back to your private cabin at the Zephyr Cove Resort. The cabins are just steps from the beach, marina, and restaurant. Your cabin will have a private bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and a gas fireplace. Be sure to request a cabin with lake views for a truly perfect stay.

Or, book a private flightseeing tour and present the ring while flying high in the sky and looking down over the magnificent mountains.
