Moving from Colorado to Missouri

Professional movers work well for this 600-mile journey through Kansas. St. Louis and Kansas City are major logistics hubs, so you'll have good moving company options and competitive pricing. It's a pretty straightforward route for experienced movers.

You're in for quite the change! Trading Colorado's high-altitude, dry climate for Missouri's humid continental weather means hot, sticky summers and cold winters with way more precipitation. No more altitude issues, but hello humidity!

If you want significantly lower living costs and don't mind losing the mountains, Missouri offers great value! Excellent barbecue, affordable housing, and you're centrally located for travel. Kansas City and St. Louis both have surprising cultural scenes and job opportunities.

Plan about 5-6 weeks total, with professional movers taking 2-4 business days for transport. This is a relatively straightforward move with good infrastructure, so timing is usually pretty reliable year-round.

The humidity increase will definitely affect your belongings – wood furniture, books, and musical instruments will need time to adjust to Missouri's moisture levels. Consider getting a dehumidifier for your new place and climate-controlled transport for valuables.
