Visiting from Cairns to Denver
When to visit

Temperatures range around 20°C to 25°C with dry days and when the parks and Colorado mountains are at their prettiest. It's a great time to ride a bike and stop at all the breweries along the way. Summer (June to August) is the best time to enjoy outdoor concerts, farmers markets and the food trucks at the Civic Centre. Winters are cold, dropping to -6°C to 7°C which is a good time to head to the mountains and ski.
