We're from Florida and will be in Colorado in early June, Will my kid be able to see and experience any snow?

only at the very highest altitudes. if you go into Rocky Mountain National Park and drive all the way up Trail Ridge Road you may see some and possibly Pikes Peak as well. Pikes is in CO Springs, take the Cog Railway to the top (a great trip with or without snow) and there may be some up there. Bring layers because the higher you go the colder it gets and we don't have humidity here. But down around Denver the weather will be great.

go west of Denver, maybe around Breckenridge.
Reply:i live in colorado and yes your kid will get a ton of snow dec-march and maybe april!!
Reply:breckenridge? vail?


check out the ski parks and see. some still have black hills open in june for skiing.
Reply:Rocky Mountain National Park will still have snow at the higher elevations , now much , but enough for the kids . also drive to the top of Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs or take the Cog Railway
Reply:we moved here to colorado, in dec. and saw snow for a day, it melts the next day. since dec.... we have only had 2 days of snow, and then the next day it melts! I doubt that you can see snow on the ground, but on pikes peak you can!
Reply:Sometimes there is still snow along I-70 near Vail or Eisenhower Passes. But you need to realize that if you do find snow in early June, it will be very hard and icy. It won't be the soft, fluffy, new snow; unless of course it snows while you are here, which it could.
Reply:Yes, but it's not easy to get to. Research the "Alpine Tunnel".. it was the FIRST EVER tunnel through a mountain.. regardless of what other tunnels claim... it was bored through as a railroad tunnel for the Denver and Rio Gande Western.





There is a good book on the Alpine Tunnel that you can still buy. If you follow the route of the railroad, it will take you above the tree line and you WILL be into the snow... because there is still snow on the East Side of the tunnel even in July.





WARNING... if you don't have a FOUR WHEEL DRIVE... you may DIE... because there is NO TRAFFIC up there and, even with a 4x4 you CAN get stuck... and the temp drops to the teens at night, so you will be stuck until help can arrive, assuming you can reach them.





Driving around the Colorado Rockies is not a sunday drive for an amateur... if you don't know how to drive in the mountains and you don't know how to drive in snow AT ELEVATION... then you had better not take the kiddies up there so they can see the snow.





Every year several people from the flat lands get killed because they think driving around the Rocky Mountains is like a day at the seashore on a barrier island.
Reply:bet on it





in places like Denver ( the capital of colorado) you can get up to 59 inches of snow
Reply:Not in Denver.
Reply:Early June - yes. We've been backcountry camping in Rocky Mountain National Park in June and have had to hike through snow to get to our campsites.


So if they are willing to do a bit of hiking - and it doesn't have to just be backcountry camping but a hike that is longer than a mile, up on the higher trails, then yes, they will experience snow.
Reply:your kid will be Abel to see snow in Denver if u guys go to the slopes also Denver has a amusement park and opens in June so have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also i am from colorado so i should know
Reply:Drive up to Rocky Mountain National Park and camp there. Hike during the day, and do BBQ for your meals. When you hike up, you stand a good chance to see snow up on top of the mountains. Be sure to take something warm because it will get very cold at night. You need to book for a camp site early in case they run out.
Reply:Arapahoe Basin ski area is usually open quite late. They've had so much snow this year they could even still be open.





To see snow you'll have to drive to the mountains.
Reply:no there will probley not be any snow that time of the year i have never seen it happen and i have lived here my whole life but starting in october till march april there is some snow
Reply:I have seen it snow in Denver in June but that is very rare.But there will be snow in the mountains in June.
Reply:Probably only on the crests of the rocky mountains. But, if you're lucky enough to experience the many ocassions of 'freak' weather we have then probably on the lower elevations.
