Question

What will the weather be like this time of year?

Answer

Summer saunters in with average highs in the 70s, very little humidity, and cool evenings that beg you to leave the windows open. It's the season when you need a pair of shorts as well as a light jacket. Chances are you'll wear both-and sunglasses. The sun shines most every day-summer through winter. Rains vary with the year, but typically storms brew on summer afternoons. They don't last long though, just long enough to water the flowers and keep meadows green.

Question

While any trip to Colorado is sure to be a blast, there’s one thing that just might get in the way of your fun: altitude sickness in Colorado.

Answer

While you’re acclimating to higher elevations, take it easy on the exercise. Get plenty of sleep, and don’t try to crush a 14er on your first day! Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout your visit to Colorado. Not only will this help with altitude sickness, but the dry climate of Colorado as well.
