Things to Know Before You Move to Colorado
- The Mountains Rule Everything Colorado’s outdoor lifestyle centers around the Rockies — hiking, skiing, and breathtaking views are part of daily life.

- Weather Is Wild but Manageable Snowstorms one day, sunshine the next. Invest in layers and all-wheel drive — you’ll use both.
- Denver Isn’t the Whole Story Cities like Boulder, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs offer great culture, jobs, and outdoor access — each with its own vibe.
