A Deep Dive into Mountain Time (MST/MDT)

The entire city of Denver and the state of Colorado operate on Mountain Time. To maximize the long summer evenings for its active, outdoor-loving population, the state observes Daylight Saving Time, shifting its clocks twice per year.

• Mountain Standard Time (MST): Active in the fall and winter months, this is 7 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-7).
• Mountain Daylight Time (MDT): Used in the spring and summer, this is 6 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-6).

Our tool automatically accounts for these changes, always displaying the correct time and time zone abbreviation for the Mile High City, so you never have to guess.
