Weather around Denver
Sun is common around Denver, so the useful differences are height and time of day. Mountain towns run much cooler than the plains. In summer, storms often build over the high country in the afternoon, so an early start helps.
In winter the mountains can have heavy snow while the Front Range is mild. Check road conditions on I-70 and the passes, since the drive times here do not include closures or ski traffic.
How we pick
"Good" means a high from 55F to 88F, a forecast of sun or clouds, and at most a 30% chance of rain or snow, with no thunderstorm, dangerous heat or cold, strong gusts or smoke. "Mixed" means one day is good and the other isn't. Picks are ordered by that, then by the forecast and how much of a destination the town is.
Drive times start at the center of Denver and go to the center of each town. They come from a table built on OpenStreetMap and do not include traffic or seasonal road closures.
