Wyoming is a popular family destination. As such, it is very busy in the summer months when school is out. However, that is also the best tie to visit Wyoming as you’ll get beautiful weather. If you visit in early summer, you also may see wildflowers in the mountain regions.
If you want to avoid the crowds, we think the best time to visit Wyoming is in the early fall. September will still have beautiful weather and fewer tourists.
