Weather

From the high peaks of the Rockies to the flat grasslands of the prairies, the different elevations in this part of the United States play a huge factor in determining the weather, and the best time to visit. The whole region has a significant annual variation in temperature, much like its varying altitudes, and benefits from little rainfall. Summers are typically pleasantly warm – only occasionally hot – spring and autumn are mild, and winters are very cold. For the most stable weather and the best chances of spotting the region’s incredible wildlife, the best months to visit are between June and September, but know that winter can also be a magical time to visit.
