Moving from Colorado to Oregon

Professional movers are recommended for this 1,000-mile journey through mountain terrain. The route can be challenging with mountain passes, so you want experienced movers who know how to handle elevation changes and potentially rough weather conditions.

Dramatic change ahead! You're leaving Colorado's sunny, dry mountain climate for Oregon's marine climate with way more rain and clouds. Think mild temperatures but constant drizzle instead of sunshine – you'll need to invest in good rain gear!

If you love outdoor activities but want milder weather and Pacific coast access, Oregon's amazing! You'll trade high-altitude adventures for coastal and forest recreation, sunny skies for green landscapes, and no state income tax for... well, no state income tax in Oregon either!

Plan 6-8 weeks total, with professional movers taking 4-6 business days for transport. Mountain weather can affect timing, especially in winter, so spring through fall moves are typically more reliable and safer.

Mountain routes can be challenging, especially in winter with snow and ice. Make sure your movers have experience with mountain passes and potentially rough weather. Also, Oregon's humidity will affect your belongings after Colorado's dry climate.
