WYOMING SEASONS AT A GLANCE While snowfall is common through May at higher elevations, increasingly warmer days make spring a great time to enjoy many quintessential winter activities, including skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling (depending on snow conditions). Since many species of wildlife migrate to higher elevations in search of fresh flora in March, April and May, it is also a prime wildlife-watching season. Learn more at TravelWyoming.com/spring. Summer features warm days and cool nights with low humid-ity. This season offers seemingly endless ways to experience Wyoming’s unspoiled wilderness and charming cities and towns. Camping under the stars, hiking, rodeo watching, horseback rid-ing, whitewater rafting, rock climbing and exploring historic sites and attractions are just a few options.
