Time difference between Denver and Chicago

Chicago is 1 hour ahead of Denver

Denver, the United States is UTC−7 · Chicago, the United States is UTC−6 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Denver goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November and Chicago goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November — so 1 hour is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.
