Every month has its own personality in Colorado, and none of them look the same. The climate and weather up here doesn't look the same as it does in Denver or Boulder. I have another blog post that explains the seasons in detail, but this is a visual guide of what the mountains look like month by month. These photos are all photos I've taken from different towns and regions above 8,000 ft, showcasing what the scenery looks like and how it changes.
Of course, just like anything else, this guide is subjective. I've seen sixty degrees in February with three brutal snowstorms just a few months later in May. I've seen snowstorms in July and August and aspens sprouting leaves as early as late April. It really depends on the year and every season affects the next one. If winter is mild, the flowers and aspens will be early. Winter could come at any time after the aspens start to change colors for the fall. The mountains may be unpredictable, but the one thing I can guarantee is that they will always be beautiful.
