Moving from Colorado to Minnesota

Professional movers work well for this 900-mile journey to the Twin Cities area. The route through Nebraska and Iowa is pretty straightforward, and Minneapolis has good moving services. Just be strategic about timing to avoid harsh winter weather on both ends!

You're swapping Colorado's dry, sunny climate for Minnesota's continental climate with serious winters and humid summers. Think lake country instead of mountain country, with way more precipitation but similar cold winters. At least you're used to snow!

If you want excellent quality of life, great schools, and don't mind trading mountains for lakes, Minnesota's fantastic! You'll lose high-altitude adventures but gain water recreation, affordable living (compared to Colorado's Front Range), and that genuine Minnesota nice culture.

Plan about 5-7 weeks total, with professional movers taking 3-5 business days for transport. Avoid winter moves if possible – both states can have brutal weather that complicates logistics. Spring through fall is much more reliable.

Both states have harsh winters, so timing matters! Also, Minnesota's humidity is much higher than Colorado's dry climate, so your wood furniture and musical instruments will need to adjust. Consider climate-controlled transport for valuable items.
