Moving from Colorado to Kentucky

Professional movers are recommended for this 1,100-mile journey through varied terrain. The route typically goes through Kansas and Missouri, and while it's not the most common moving corridor, you should find companies experienced with Midwest-to-Mountain West moves.

Major change ahead! You're trading Colorado's dry, high-altitude climate for Kentucky's humid subtropical weather. Think hot, sticky summers and mild winters with way more rain than you're used to. The good news? No more altitude adjustment issues!

If you want significantly lower living costs and authentic Southern culture, Kentucky's got charm! You'll lose the mountain skiing but gain horse country, bourbon culture, and incredibly affordable housing. Plus, Louisville and Lexington have surprising cultural scenes.

Budget about 6-8 weeks total planning time, with professional movers taking 4-6 business days for transport. It's not a super popular route, so you might need to book further in advance to find the right moving company.

The humidity shift is significant – your wood furniture, leather goods, and musical instruments will need time to adjust. Climate-controlled transport is worth it, and you'll definitely want to invest in a good dehumidifier for your new home.
