Best time to visit Wyoming
Best time of year to visit Wyoming
If you want to avoid crowds, choose late spring or early fall as the best time to visit Wyoming. Both seasons are known for mild weather, lower prices, and fun events and activities. You might just see some baby animals in April or May, and in September or October you can spend your time climbing, cycling, or fishing. June through August boast hot weather and attract visitors to Yellowstone National Park. That's why summers in Wyoming are oh, so busy! From Old Faithful, to the Grand Prismatic Spring, to the Mud Volcano—so many amazing natural sights are awaiting you in Yellowstone. But if it’s winter activities that you crave, head to Wyoming between November and March—to gaze at wolves or migrating bison, and enjoy some snowmobiling or cross-country skiing!
