Best season: summer. Summer offers the most reliable, mild weather for camping at 6,000 ft — expect daytime highs generally between 60–80°F and cool nights in the mid-30s to low-50s. River fishing, day hikes along the North Fork Shoshone, biking on the Buffalo Bill Scenic Byway, and abundant wildlife viewing are all at their peak in July and early August. Plan for moderate to busy crowds in July–early August because of Yellowstone traffic; be prepared for quick-moving afternoon thunderstorms and occasional wildfire/ Peak months: July, August, June, May Avoid: September, October, November, December
Summer (July–Aug) is peak for fishing, hiking and wildlife; mosquitos and crowds noted.
