Peak season:
Summer, Memorial Day to Labor Day, is the peak season with lots of crowds and high rates. The ski resorts peak again in winter, and they are as crowded in July as they are in February.
Off season:
The closest you will come to off season are the autumn and spring shoulder seasons. The wineries are in production and draw visitors. The autumn also sees aspen trees turning to gold, and spring sees the blooming wildflowers. The best time to book Colorado flights is mid-September through October as the weather usually stays warm.

If weather is an important factor for your trip to Colorado, use this chart to help with planning. For those seeking warmer temperatures, July is the ideal time of year to visit, when temperatures reach an average of 73.4 F. Travelers looking to avoid the cold should look outside of January, when temperatures are typically at their lowest (around 30.2 F).
A study that examined 350 million airfares between the U.S. and 3,000 markets found that travelers generally get the best deal by booking between 3 weeks and 3-1/2 months before to travel. If you want a flight around Thanksgiving or Christmas, however, you should book as soon as possible since those fares rise closer to holiday dates.

The seats are too narrow and uncomfortable. I do appreciate that there was room for my knees. I hate the boarding circus.

Colorado is a year-round destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers of all levels. Unlike many states in the US, Colorado’s high tourist season is during the winter months. Visitors booking flights to Colorado during this time have a soft-spot for skiing, snow-boarding and cold-weather sports. But there is more to Colorado than bunny slopes and black diamonds. Colorado’s vast parkland provides an opportunity for tourists to go mountain biking, fishing, horseback riding, kayaking, white water rafting or just enjoy some rest and relaxation at one of its many top-rated resorts.
The western part of the state is comprised of beautiful remote desert canyons and the archaeological remnants of the cliff cities left by an ancient civilization at Mesa Verde National Park – a stark contrast to the alpine wonders that attract most visitors to Colorado.
No matter what your reason for booking flights to Colorado, you’re sure to leave the state with memories of spacious skies and purple mountains majesty.
Denver is a transportation hub for Colorado, both for entering and leaving the state – and for finding transportation to other Colorado destinations. For a stay in Denver, you can rely on public transportation. Taxis and shuttles are also available in other large cities and towns. To help you get around the state, there are commuter airlines and shuttle buses from the Denver airport. Amtrak has a couple of routes through the state, and some say the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in the southwest is a must-see destination.
Getting around the state usually involves a car to some extent, and with visitor centers statewide, you have little trouble getting directions and tips on getting from one place to another.
A world-renowned destination for cyclists, interstate highway shoulders are open to cyclists (except in urban areas). The mountain roads are more demanding, and one of the most popular and challenging routes is the Million Dollar Highway.
