Colorado operates on Mountain Standard Time (MST) during winter months, which is 7 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-7). During daylight saving time, observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, Colorado switches to Mountain Daylight Time (MDT), which is UTC-6.
All of Colorado follows the same time zone. Major cities including Denver, Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, and Boulder all observe Mountain Time. This makes scheduling across Colorado straightforward, as there's no time difference within the state.
Colorado sits perfectly between the coasts. When it's 9 AM in Denver, it's 11 AM in New York and 8 AM in Los Angeles. This central position makes Colorado ideal for companies coordinating with both East and West Coast offices.
