Moving from Colorado to Louisiana

Professional movers are definitely the way to go for this 1,000-mile journey to the Deep South. New Orleans and Baton Rouge are well-served by moving companies, though the route through Texas might take a bit longer than you'd expect.

Buckle up for a massive change! You're leaving Colorado's crisp, dry mountain air for Louisiana's subtropical humidity and heat. Think swamp-level moisture, mild winters, and hurricane season. No more altitude sickness, but hello constant air conditioning bills!

If you want amazing food culture, unique history, and don't mind heat and humidity, Louisiana's incredible! You'll trade mountain adventures for bayou exploration, skiing for fishing, and craft beer for amazing cocktails. Just be prepared for hurricane season and different pace of life.

Plan 6-8 weeks total, with professional movers taking 4-7 business days depending on your exact destination. Hurricane season (June-November) can affect timing, so spring moves are often smoother.

Absolutely factor in hurricane season! Avoid moving during peak season (August-October) if possible, and make sure your moving insurance covers weather delays. Also, the extreme humidity change can affect electronics and wood furniture, so climate-controlled transport is worth it.
