While hiking season never truly ends in Colorado, the warmer temperatures make it a little more enjoyable. But beware, the trade for better weather includes the potential for mud, and even snow, on some trails. So we recommend you bring all the footwear options in preparation. Your efforts will be rewarded with gorgeous wildflowers and mountain vistas.

Flowers aren't the only things blooming in the springtime. Farmer's markets will be popping up left and right to offer the best produce, home goods, and whatever else you may be looking for. Plus, you get to support local farmers and businesses. Everyone loves that.
