Moving from Colorado to Arizona

This is actually one of the easier moves from Colorado! It's only about 600 miles, so you could even do a DIY move with a rental truck. Professional movers are still great though, especially if you're moving to Phoenix or Tucson where they have regular routes.

You're swapping Colorado's cool mountain air and snow for Arizona's desert heat – think 115°F summers but basically no humidity. The good news? You'll still get that amazing sunshine you're used to, just way more intense. Winter will feel like a vacation!

If you're over Colorado's unpredictable weather and high altitude but still want outdoor adventures, Arizona's fantastic! Lower cost of living, no snow to shovel, and incredible hiking. Just be prepared for summers that are legitimately dangerous – many people become "reverse snowbirds" and escape to cooler places.

This is pretty straightforward – plan about 4-6 weeks total with professional movers taking just 2-4 days for transport. Since it's a popular snowbird route, movers know it well and timing is usually reliable.

Absolutely! Arizona heat can warp electronics, melt candles, and damage anything heat-sensitive. Schedule your move for spring or fall if possible, and definitely opt for climate-controlled transport. Your Colorado winter gear might need special storage once you arrive!
