Sunrise and Sunset Times in Colorado

Sunrise and Sunset in Colorado

The 34 Colorado cities listed here span 2.3° of latitude, from Pueblo in the south (38.3°N) to Fort Collins in the north (40.5°N). On the June solstice that puts about 15h 5m of daylight over Fort Collins against 14h 50m over Pueblo — a 15m difference inside one state. In December the gap reverses, and the southern cities are the ones holding more light.

The median Colorado city swings 5h 38m between the solstices against a national median of 5h 16m, so seasons here move the clock 22m more than they do in a typical American city.

Seasons bite hardest in Fort Collins, where daylight swings 5h 48m between the solstices, and least in Pueblo at 5h 20m. The table above lists both figures for every city, so you can see where any town falls between those two extremes.

Colorado sits entirely in Mountain Time. Longitude decides how a city's clock lines up with its Sun: Grand Junction sits furthest west inside its zone, which puts mean solar noon about 14 minutes after clock noon and gives it the state's latest-running evenings for its longitude.

Each city page carries that city's full profile: today's sunrise and sunset on a live tracker, a twelve-month table of times, the dates of the year's earliest and latest sunsets, the Sun's midday height by season, a golden-hour calendar, clear-sky solar-energy figures, and where the city ranks against the rest of the country.
