I forgot some another good spot to visit in spring, the Buena Vista//Salida area, at least the lower parts. Also by East Colorado I mean lower areas near Colorado Springs, Boulder, Golden, and Fort Collins

Thank you for this wonderful and honest explanation of Colorado weather. I will be visiting the week of Memorial Day. What is your opinion on access to trails, weather and what to expect around that time? Thank you so much in advance!

Idk who is tryna make a visit to Colorado in the springtime to hit the paint mines…. “And eastern Colorado” but here’s my advice - You could be on a trail in February / March along the front range that has literally zero snow on it while still being in the mountains. You need to plan accordingly, check the forecast, and be even more prepared then usual for cold temperatures. You just gotta use judgement, think “okay would there be a base accumulation of snow in this region” and “when was the last snowfall”…..

Yeah, I guess I'm considering the front range as Eastern Colorado. Areas around Colorado Springs, Boulder, Golden, Fort Collins. Usually around spring I go west and try to find something new in those areas, everyonce in a while I will go far east. I have found a lot of hidden gems in the eastern plains, some small canyons, ghost towns, historical areas, and no one around, just me. I think the east is a bit underrated, not as cool as the hidden gems you can get yourself out west, but still underrated...

Ive been going to Colorado in summer time often. Ive encountered some rain fall but not alot during the few times ive went. Would there be much of a difference in the beginning of September? I wanna see the fall colors.I know you mentioned snow fall on high elevation areas. But overall would do you think about the precipitation during that month? I wanna bring a friend there for the first time and i just want it to be perfect for him.

I like that month, it is not as green and the crowds are gone and the heat is not as bad. The precipitation can change year by year, but usually August has the most rain. That can go into September.. but not usually to much, plus the rain keeps the crowds away.

What is your advice when it comes to animals that can attack? When is best time or where to go to try to avoid? Maybe inevitable if that's your luck. Other than winter of course

I would say spring. Moose are the most dangerous animals in Colorado and during the spring they may have calfs and can get defensive if you get to close to them. Just keep your distance and keep your dog on a leash. They are kinda blind and they may confuse the dogs for wolves and charge them.
