Mountain pine beetles infest the lodgepole pine, which makes up 8% of Colorado's 22 million acres (89,000 km 2) of forests. Lodgepole pines are found at elevations between 6,000–11,000 feet (1,800–3,400 m). A previous notable outbreak occurred in Colorado in the 1970s but was significantly less detrimental than the current infestation.

Adult Ips pini beetles commence their active phase within the early stages of tree life. This phase is characterized by the emergence of infestations in trees, which may be freshly damaged or have sustained damage during the winter months. Such infestations serve as a visible indicator of the beetles' activity and their impact on forest ecosystems.
