Parts of the state will start to come alive, however there are high chances that snow will still be lingering in higher elevations until late spring/ early summer. If you're looking to enjoy areas such as Grand Junction, Pueblo or Colorado Springs- Spring is a great time to visit as temperatures are ften warming up in these areas!
Spring (May- June)
If you closed your ideas and dreamed of a winter wonderland for your elopement, Colorado is going to be the destination for you! The mountains capped with snow and ice standing tall above a layer of snow are truly breathtaking! A lot of places in Colorado don't get moisture (which leads to heavy snow) until the first couple of months of the year, so snow lingering until the summer months is common, especially in southern Colorado.
Winter (November- April)
Colorado has a track record of being surreal during the fall months! If you truly want to experience those fiery autumn colors, Colorado is the place to be! Keep in mind the timeframe for the vibrant fall clors is very narrow, so timing is key! In the mountains, you can find fall colors glowing in late September. The foothills tend to peak in early October. Higher elevations may see snow in late fall, so have a backup plan in place if needed!
Fall (September- October)
If you're looking to enjoy longer days, warmer temperatures, wildflowers, and higher elevations- summer is the perfect time to elope in Colorado! Like many other scenic places, Colorado gets a lot of tourists in the summer time. Keep in mind that July through mid-September is the wet season in Colorado.
Summer (June- August)
When choosing your destination and date for your elopement there are several factors to consider- such as tourism, weather, and scenery. Each season brings something unique to the table, and there are pros and cons to eloping in Colorado during every season!
