What do people think about Colorado in the late Spring?

I am thinking of going there in late May and early June while the schools are mostly still in session. What do? you think of that? I assume there will be some snow at higher elevations. Anything else to watch out for?
 

I grew up in Denver, and spent a lot of time in the mountains. There are some really beautiful places to go, and the weather is usually moderating by late Spring. However, the higher you go, the more chances of getting caught in a snowstorm.....I was once stranded for several hours at the summit of Mt. Evans....14,300 ft. in July.

There have also been some severe fires in the mountains this year, so there is a good chance that there will be some mudslides closing some of the roads if a good rainstorm passes through the mountains next year. Keeping a close watch on the weather reports will be important.
 
Colorado is lovely! Used to live there. But, You didn't say WHERE in Colorado you're going!
Just GO! Go and have a wonderful time! Just plan on wonders after wonders!!
Silverton is kinda cool!
 
The train that goes up Pikes Peak opens in late May, so I'd say that is a good indication that any earlier than late May might be a bit too early in the season to enjoy Colorado (unless you are into skiing).
