All Months
May through October offers the best weather, with July and August bringing crowds and afternoon thunderstorms. September hits the sweet spot - warm days, cool nights, and aspen trees turning gold in the mountains. Summer temperatures reach the 80s, but altitude means cool evenings even in July. Spring arrives late here - snow can fall through May, especially at higher elevations. Winter brings snow and freezing temperatures, but also smaller crowds and cheaper hotels. The Pikes Peak Cog Railway shuts down for maintenance from November through April. Garden of the Gods stays open year-round, but icy trails make hiking treacherous. Wildflower season peaks in July around 10,000 feet, while fall colors start in September at high elevations and work their way down through October. Book accommodations early for summer - this city gets busy when school's out.
