Summer time in Colorado is simply spectacular. Mountain towns at 8000 feet of elevation or more may hit temperatures of 84 degrees for two hours in August, but for most of the summer, temps are mild, the humidity is non-existent, the wild flowers are beautiful and the mountain sides appear to be painted a lush green. It is a well known saying in Colorado that we move here to ski in the winter, but stay here for the summers. Experience the incredible summer weather in Colorado and you'll know what we mean.
