When is the best time to fly to Denver?
Most visitors take flights to Denver during the summer months, which offer the warmest temperatures, at times above 32 degrees Celsius. This popular season is also a great time for nature lovers, as they will be able to see the wildflowers at their peak in July and August.
The ski season runs from mid-November to March, which also marks a busy time. Many avid skiers and snowboarders travel to Denver during these months to go to the nearby Rocky Mountain slopes.
Spring and autumn are not as busy and are when you’re more likely to find cheap flights to Denver and better rates for accommodation. These periods experience comfortable temperatures and also fewer crowds. Spring is typically colourful and wet, which is when visitors can make the most of the city’s museums, such as, Colorado History Museum. Autumn, on the other hand, is usually dry. September is the perfect time to catch the foliage change colour and is a favourite time of year for many locals.
