Advised I've received from a friend who has done it - don't be in the Rockies after Labor Day. We're also planning a westward trip starting in August and plane to be through the rockies by Labor Day.
Sorry but your friend was pulling your Leg!
Seeing is Believing - Aspen - In September
Having been to Yellowstone at least a dozen time (they were all good) but the best trip was late October - first week of November, Indian Summer - more animals than People.
IMHO You will be hard pressed to find a more enjoyable time to be In Colorado.
JMHO,
Wonderful, but no one said anything about Colorado. You do know that the Rockies exist outside that state, right? The friend's warning was about the specific route we're doing - US2 along Glacier NP and the upper part of Idaho where he has traveled extensively.
I am avoiding CO like the plague. I do not want to be pulled over and searched after leaving. Of course, I'm going to run into the same issue leaving Mass.
Pulled over and searched? I've driven lots of places from Colorado, and have never once been pulled over and searched. I think you're a bit too paranoid about that one.
But as for you not coming here, fine, more room for the rest of us ;)
To the OP, I think you're fine anywhere in the Rockies (CO, WY, MT) in September. October gets a bit more dicey... could be beautiful, could be a blizzard.
