Best time to visit Colorado

The best time to visit Colorado depends on what you want to do. Weather-wise, mid to late spring (March to May) and early autumn (September to October) offer great conditions for hiking and cycling. The crowds are also smaller in these shoulder months.

If you're into snowsports, then winter is of course the best time to visit. Colorado is home to some of the USA's top skiing and snowboarding destinations including Aspen, Boulder, Wolf Creek Ski Area and Steamboat Ski Resort.

We've compiled a seasonal guide to help you plan your trip.
