WYOMING STATE

Best Time to Visit Wyoming

 

WHAT TO VISIT IN WYOMING

Wyoming evokes the old American West, which thrives to this day in cities and places as Cody, in central Wyoming, not far from Yellowstone east entrance. Or in Cheyenne, capital of Wyoming, with events and museums evoking Frontier Days.

But Wyoming is much more then just evocation of the old west. Yellowstone Park offers a special epic beauty, and is by far the biggest tourist attraction in Wyoming. 

Jackson Hole is another great place to head. It's main ski area is close to Grand Teton National Park south - a magnificent area tailored by the Snake River at the bottom of the Teton mountains.

In the Northeast, for those who love outdoors, fishing and hunting the Black Hills National Forest and the Bighorn Canyon National, are also major destinations (Devils Tower National Monument stays also in this region, in the upper northeast corner of Wyoming).

BEST TIME TO VISIT WYOMING

Wyoming weather is very changeable, and spring is particularly unforeseeable. You can get mild temperatures and sunshine but also massive rain. In general, early Fall is a much better season: weather is much more stable and crowds in the main tourist destinations (Yellowstone...) much smaller.  

Anyway, the best season depends mostly on your interests, and the type of destination and vacation you want. 

If you intend to visit Yellowstone, or to privilege sightseeing, fishing and other outdoors, then June through September is the best period (Summer is definitely the most popular season, and the most crowded).

If you want to visit Wyoming ski resorts, the best time to go to Wyoming is obviously during the ski season: from late October to late March.

WHEN NOT TO GO TO WYOMING

Summer is the most popular period, but it is also the most crowded period, while Winter can be harsh. If you aren't interested in ski, winter isn't definitely a good time (between November and April, Yellowstone is partially closed, but winter gives to the park a very particular and special beauty).


TOURS, HOTELS AND FLIGHTS TO WYOMING

Jackson has the most important airport (Jackson Hole Airport) in Wyoming (it's a gateway to Jackson Hole sky resorts, and also to Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone). Cheyenne - the state capital - has the other top state airport. The other top air gategway to Yellowstone and the northwest of Wyoming is the Yellowstone Regional Airport.
