There’s never a bad time of year to make your way to Yellowstone in the name of vacation fun. That said, there’s something wonderfully exciting about a summer trip this way, especially if you happen to be enjoying your surroundings alongside family and friends. Whether you’re looking to make the most of relaxation in the sunshine, amazing views to admire, or adventure at its best, Yellowstone has something wonderful waiting for you in the summertime. Feel free to use the following as your ultimate guide to summer in Yellowstone when you can’t wait for travel plans to bring you this way this year!
There Are So Many Reasons to Love Yellowstone in the Summertime
While winter in Yellowstone is a treat and fall and spring come with colorful scenery to infuse into your itinerary with ease, summer is absolutely packed with opportunities for travelers who are looking to get out and explore more. During the summer, visitors to Yellowstone will be thrilled by the fact that there simply aren’t any barriers to adventure. Unlike wintertime when many Yellowstone roads are closed in the name of accessibility and safety, summer is a time when nearly every trail, facility, park entrance, and road is open and waiting to be discovered.
This is a time of year for exploring without restriction, and iconic landmarks like the Grand Prismatic Spring are perhaps at their photographic best as well. There’s no shortage of options in Yellowstone in the summertime in the way of outdoor fun, whether you’re one for fishing, boating, camping, hiking, biking, or wildlife watching alike. Summer also means Yellowstone visitors are treated to the longest hours of sunlight of the year, providing options for extending outdoor adventures in the event you find yourself here with a crowd of others and want to slow things down. Some of the area’s most scenic drives like the Beartooth Highway and the Grand Loop are easy to navigate this time of year without any snow or ice to contend with, and the wildlife are typically out in abundance, including bears, bison, elk, and more.
Visit Yellowstone Lake During Your Summer Stay
Yellowstone spans over two million acres of terrain, and within those impressive parameters, there are a long lineup of iconic landmarks that many visitors understandably want to see for themselves. When you make your way here in the summertime, one of the landmarks you simply won’t want to leave off the must-visit list is Yellowstone Lake. This body of water showcases no less than 141 miles of shoreline and at its deepest plummets 400 feet. It also enjoys the unique distinction of being the largest high-elevation lake in all of North America. There are many options for visiting the lake in the summertime with some guests opting to drive around the shoreline to reach great viewpoints and take photos. The other option is to cool off on the waters on a warm summer day and a good way to do this is to head over to the Bridge Bay Marina and rent a boat to enjoy at your own preferred pace.
If you prefer to make the most of summer sightseeing on the water alongside a guide, consider booking your place on a one-hour guided tour onboard the Lake Queen II. This vessel departs from the Bridge Bay Marina throughout the summer season and includes unique area history and insight along the way. Be sure to bring your binoculars for the experience because there’s a good chance you’ll spot elk and bison on the shoreline and eagles overhead this time of year.
Summer Tours Not to Miss When You’re Here
One of the best routes to maximizing your time in Yellowstone is to sign up for as many area tours as possible during your stay. This is a great way to get a comprehensive view and understanding of your surroundings when the weather is on your side. It’s also a strategic way to avoid long lines and crowds when you hold tickets for sightseeing adventures that have access to places in Yellowstone you might otherwise miss out on. The “Wake Up to Wildlife” tour offered at Yellowstone focuses on time exploring the Lamar Valley alongside your guide. These tours head out at dawn in the summertime when many of Yellowstone’s most impressive wildlife are out and about and the crowds haven’t yet made their way in the various entrance points.
It’s an inspiring opportunity to see eagles, elk, bison, moose, and bears free roaming in their natural habitats in a setting that’s tranquil and wonderfully scenic. There are also options to book a unique stagecoach adventure that’s hosted through Yellowstone National Park Lodges in the summertime. This is a fun way to step into the past alongside family and friends as you board a replica Tally-Ho stagecoach and ride along a road that takes you through the heart of Pleasant Valley. These tours are typically 45 minutes long and narrated once you depart from the Roosevelt Corral.
Top Summer Hikes to Enjoy When Adventure Is the Ultimate Goal
It’s hard to imagine anything more refreshing than hiking your way to fun in Yellowstone in the summertime, and those who head this way with boots laced tight will love the sheer variety of trail options to pick and choose from. If you’re visiting with the entire family in tow and looking for routes that can be navigated by hikers of all skill levels, sticking to pathways that are rated moderately difficult is typically a good choice. A few of these include the Beaver Ponds Loop near Mammoth, the trail leading to the Natural Bridge close to Yellowstone Lake, and the Fairy Falls Trail, which offers up the unique opportunity to stop on the overlook out over the Grand Prismatic Geyser.
Must-See Attractions
Perhaps the most difficult part of planning a summer getaway to Yellowstone is trying to narrow down your list when you have a limited timeframe to work with and want to make sure you see as much of this fascinating area as possible. We highly recommend making sure to add fan-favorite landmark stops to the lineup like Old Faithful. Yes, there’s a good chance you’ll find plenty of others have the same idea this time of year, but the crowds are there for a reason. Old Faithful is truly an inspiring sight to see among the world’s largest concentration of active geysers. Witnessing its power for yourself is something you won’t regret, and if you’re traveling with kids, it’s an experience they’ll remember for long after you’ve left Yellowstone behind as well.
You’ll also want to make sure you make time on the summer itinerary for exploring the Canyon Village. It will act as a base camp if hiking to the summit of Mt. Washburn is one of your summer goals, but all summer long, it’s a terrific place for wildlife watching and enjoying Hayden Valley views. The Lamar Valley is another top destination in Yellowstone that you deserve to enjoy for yourself this summer. From the wildlife that linger along the Lamar River to the stunning open hillsides to admire, you might end up lingering here longer than you originally planned to. The travertine terraces at Mammoth Hot Springs are also well worth your while to take time to discover this summer. The landscape here is wonderfully surreal and a visual treat that’s sure to inspire. The geothermal activity in this area is unsurpassed and whether you focus your time on the Upper or Lower Terraces, you might just find that it’s a highlight of your visit.
Finally, don’t leave your summer Yellowstone trip behind without taking some time to enjoy the Norris Geyser Basin. This is both the most ancient and the hottest geyser basin within Yellowstone National Park and proudly boasts the Steamboat Geyser which sprays water 300 to 400 feet up in the air. The geysers here are relatively unpredictable, making every visit a unique experience. There are trails to follow that offer up one-of-a-kind vantage points on these natural wonders and plenty of signage that directs you where to go.
Make Sure Wildlife Watching Is Part of Your Summer Getaway Experience
When it comes to wildlife watching adventures, summer in Yellowstone is an experience you simply can’t top anywhere else on the map. Yellowstone National Park is well-known for the impressive population of bison that call its landscapes home, and some of the top areas to check out with binoculars in hand for the best spotting opportunities in the summertime include Hayden Valley and Lamar Valley as well. The Lamar Valley is also a great place to be when you’re looking forward to potentially setting your sights on black bears and grizzly bears in Yellowstone with added options for viewing around Tower Falls, Roosevelt, and Petrified Tree.
Many visitors are delighted to learn that Yellowstone hosts a robust population of wolves, and while they typically linger further from the main roads, there are chances to spot them in the Lamar Valley too. If you’re hiking in the Bechler River region of Yellowstone this summer, you might have the opportunity to see a moose or two, and for those who are spending quality time in the Mammoth Hot Springs area, options to spot bighorn sheep, elk, and pronghorn are vast and varied. Other creatures you might be lucky enough to see as you make your way through Yellowstone in the summertime include mountain lions, badgers, lynx, bobcats, foxes, and coyotes as well.
Treat Yourself to an Old West Cookout
No matter how you spend your time in Yellowstone this year, there will come a time when you’ll have cravings to curb along the way. A fun option that’s sure to please the entire family is to sign up to be a part of an Old West cookout experience during your stay! This dining experience is paired up with a one-hour horseback ride, stagecoach ride, or covered wagon trip to Yancy’s Hole departing from the Roosevelt Lodge. After you’ve had time to enjoy the serene views along the way, you’ll feast in good company in the fresh air, enjoying selections like baked beans, beef steaks, corn bread, watermelon, potato salad, and campfire-brewed coffee too. Your meal ends on a sweet note as homemade cobbler is served up before you head back to your point of origin in Old West style.
Summer Safety Tips
Your summer in Yellowstone is sure to be a thrill, but keeping some of the following tips in mind will make sure your getaway is smooth, successful, and safe too. If you’re heading out on hiking adventures this time of year, you’re going to want to make sure to pack plenty of water, have bear spray on hand and always travel in groups of three or more. In the event you come into contact with wildlife, you’re required to stay a minimum of 100 yards away from wolves and bears and 25 yards away from all other wildlife.
Here, it’s prohibited to feed wildlife you encounter, and you must leave wildflowers where they are as well. If you’re driving through Yellowstone, the park speed limit is 45 mph, and guests should never wander off trails or designated boardwalks, especially around the park’s geothermal features. Do be sure to bring your camera so you can capture your amazing moments on camera, and if you want the best chances of spotting wildlife, early morning outings are a must.
Book a Stay Near the Best of Your Summer Adventures
Making the most of every moment in Yellowstone this summer means booking comfortable and stylish accommodations that keep you close to the fun with amenities in place that make you feel right at home. That’s what you’ll find and so much more when you reserve your place in a rental through the team of property professionals at Sweet Home Montana. While we handle the details of your stay, you’ll be free to focus on the fun and adventure ahead. Reach out today to learn more about our ideal getaway options in West Yellowstone for small and large groups alike. We look forward to helping you make it a summer to remember and can’t wait to see you in Montana soon.
No matter when you have the opportunity to visit Yellowstone, it’s a trip well-worth taking. Here, both nature lovers and scenery seekers alike will find reasons to relish in their one-of-a-kind surroundings from the moment they set foot within its parameters. Yellowstone is packed with amazing wildlife, gorgeous landscapes, and mesmerizing geothermal features across its two million acres of terrain, making every visit a unique experience. That said, the time of year you arrive here can certainly affect what you’re able to do and how long you can spend exploring the places you’re more interested in seeing for yourself. The following is a month-by-month breakdown designed to help you and your traveling crew decide when is the best time to visit Yellowstone this year.
Make It a Winter Journey to Remember
If you don’t mind the snow and cold and you’re up for some bundled-up seasonal fun, visiting Yellowstone in the wintertime could be your ideal time of year to travel this way. December officially kicks off the cold-weather season here, and many of the snow coach and snowmobile tours that thrill-seekers can book through the park begin on or around the 15th. While you won’t have opportunities to drive your own vehicle through the park as freely as you would in the summertime due to multiple feet of snow and closed roadways, December is a time of year that’s well adapted to snowshoes in Yellowstone instead. The team at Yellowstone Safari Company begins their guided snowshoe outings this month, and there’s a good chance you’ll spot some incredible elk along the way if your route takes you to higher elevations.
January and February Are Ideal for Those Who Enjoy Off-Season Adventures
Winter is a terrific time to head to Yellowstone when you want to avoid crowds, and you’re willing to pack the extra gear needed to make the most of the great outdoors. January is a particularly popular month for taking in the scenery, as it’s covered in frost and ice. Yes, it’s bound to be frigid, but if you have your hat, boots, thermal gloves, multiple layers, and parkas readily available; there’s no reason you can’t head out in insulated covers and enjoy a stroll through the snow. The average high this time of year is typically around 28 degrees Fahrenheit, which keeps some visitors away, but it is a great time for those who are looking to spot wildlife like wolves, which are easier to spot in the distance against the white snow.
By February, things warm up slightly across Yellowstone’s fascinating ecosystem, but you’re still going to need to pack warm apparel if you want to head out and make the most of winter wildlife watching. February is a great time of year to spot bison sporting their thickest seasonal coasts moving around Mammoth Hot Springs, and it’s also a prime season for spotting coyotes, gray wolves, and red foxes as they begin to emerge in the name of an early breeding season in Yellowstone. If you head this way this time of year, you’ll likely find yourself in the company of dedicated wildlife photographers intent on capturing these snowy shots of amazing creatures at their finest.
Spring Brings New Life, Color, and Adventures to Yellowstone
March marks the beginning of the spring season in Yellowstone, and travelers who are looking to enjoy slightly warmer temperatures at the park compared to winter will be thrilled to find daily highs typically linger around 39 degrees Fahrenheit. That means a bit of snow will start melting away, but not enough to completely thaw out the terrain. Waterproof boots are still very much necessary here in March, and snowmobile tours are typically one of the most popular routes to relishing the scenery with ease alongside a local and knowledgeable guide. If you’re here to see elk, it’s a unique time of year to travel this way because it’s when elk begin to shed their seasonal antlers across Yellowstone. These grow back within 150 to 170 days, but if you happen to see one shedding its antlers in real-time, it’s an incredible scene you won’t soon forget.
By April, more visitors will be making their way to Yellowstone as things warm up, but it’s still very much considered a shoulder travel season in the area. If you decide to lace up your boots and hit the still slightly snowy trails, there’s a good chance you’ll notice melt-off beginning to create noticeable streams along the way. The West entrance of the park opens in April, and more routes are open to four-wheel-drive vehicles this month as well. Wildlife watching only gets better and better by April, as elk and deer alike make their way back to familiar grounds.
May Is a Must for Bear Watching
If you’re someone who has a true passion for spotting bears in the wild, the grizzlies who call Yellowstone home begin coming out from hibernation by May. Many consider this the “true” start to spring, and the viewing opportunities from a safe distance abound. From under the snowy terrain, visitors will also begin to notice spots of green as vegetation makes a seasonal reappearance across the park as well. May is also the month for baby bison to begin making their way into the world at Yellowstone, and their orange coats stand out strikingly in the herd. If you’re traveling to Yellowstone in May and intent on seeking out wildflowers, some of the early bloomers to expect this month include Glacier Lilies, Biscuitroot, Spring Beauties, and Arrowleaf Balsamroot as well. Finally, many visitors this time of year are delighted to find that roads that were closed all winter and early spring are now open for travel. Early May sees the East entrance of the park open up to the public, while mid-May welcomes travelers to use the South Entrance once again. By the end of May, Dunraven Pass to Tower Falls is accessible as well, making the park a place where you can more easily customize your entrance and exit points when planning your trip.
Spend Summer Embracing Amazing Surroundings in Yellowstone
By June, summer is officially in session across Yellowstone, but because some schools let out a bit late, you can possibly still avoid the mid-summer crowds that are guaranteed here by July. Daily highs hit the low 60s this month and there’s typically plenty of sunshine to go around which inevitably melts off any remaining snow at a faster rate. Still, if you want to cool down, hiking higher elevation trails in Yellowstone this time of year comes with access to fresh powder. At lower elevations, wildflowers are in bloom and among the lupine and Indian paintbrush, you’ll likely see baby deer, moose, and elk roaming.
By July, temperatures are typically at their warmest across Yellowstone, reaching upwards of 90 degrees by midday. The snow has long since gone from the trails so if you’re a hiking enthusiast, this is the time of year to find yourself here with gear in hand. Lines at entrance stations are bound to be significantly longer by July, so planning your entrance times is a must. A good way to ensure your place is to book your spot on a wildlife or nature tour so you can not only avoid crowds but perhaps set your sights on areas you might otherwise overlook. July is a terrific time to get up close to the park’s many geothermal features as well, because higher temperatures dissipate steam, which can block your view in the winter season.
August brings summer to a close with temperatures that still linger in the upper 80s and plenty of sunny days to enjoy. The one disadvantage to an August visit is that the park doesn’t typically see a lot of rain this time of year, so if you’re looking for options to cool off among all that heat, you’re a bit out of luck. As a result, there are also strict fire restrictions in place to be aware of no matter where you roam. That said, August visitors to Yellowstone will be right on time to witness the bison breeding season, which sees competing males putting on an incredible show of strength if you’re lucky enough to witness these matches in real-time.
Fall in Love with Yellowstone This Autumn
With school back in session and summer fading into fall, autumn is a great time to enjoy cooler temperatures across Yellowstone and fewer crowds too. Daily highs in September average around 70 degrees Fahrenheit, with the one disadvantage being the increased chances for storms. The cooler weather does come with more active wildlife during the daytimes as opposed to what you might see in the summer, and bull elk and moose will be putting their impressive antlers to use showing off their strength and skills to attract a mate. Grizzly bears are on the hunt for local berries this time of year as they ramp up for an oncoming hibernation once again, and while the daylight time you can set aside to explore Yellowstone is shorter, it’s equally impressive.
It’s fair to say that October is a fan-favorite time of year in Yellowstone among those who have a passion for leaf peeping. Deciduous trees like cottonwood and aspen are the first to turn yellow, while the first week of October typically encompasses the very best time for spotting the most drastic change in hues. You will want to check on road status ahead before heading into Yellowstone in October, because while it’s not a guarantee, a pop-up storm or snowfall can cause some access points to close earlier in the season than originally anticipated.
November brings fall to a close in Yellowstone, and the 7th of the month typically marks the final opportunity for travelers to take full advantage of exploring the park’s roads on their own in a standard highway vehicle. After that, many routes are closed for the wintertime in the name of safety with the exception of the North and Northeast entrance. Of course, even if you arrive later in November, you can simply take a winter-style approach to visiting and plan a snow tour with a guide or head in on foot on your own. Places like the Lamar Valley are extremely active with bison and elk well into November, and bighorn sheep breeding season gets underway this month as well. Long before the largest snowfalls of the year happen, November presents a wonderful chance to explore geothermal features without having to contend with snow on the boardwalks or surrounding trails.

Once upon a time, travelers looked upon hotel rooms as simply a place to rest and recuperate from their daily adventures while vacationing, not caring that the entire family often had to share a solo bath, that the two beds four or more people had to sleep on were bumpy and hard, and perhaps not noticing that the money they thought they were saving by sharing the room was being eaten up by the expense of eating out for every meal. Today’s travelers, however, seek something more. They want comfort, they want luxury, and they want the space they deserve and for those preparing for a vacation in Montana, they want the comforts found in our Sweet Home Montana vacation rentals. So what exactly makes Sweet Home Montana’s properties better than hotel rooms?
The Entire Family Is Invited
Unless your pet is a support animal, most hotels won’t allow you to bring them along, but many of our properties are pet friendly ones, ensuring that your entire family will be able to enjoy this vacation in Big Sky Country. Cozy and comfortable, these escapes will provide lush green areas in which your sweet fur babies will be able to frolic and roam.
Budget Friendly
It seems hard to believe, but choosing one of our Sweet Home Montana escapes can actually end up saving you money on this vacation, and who doesn’t like to save money? The math is easy, as some of the savings come from something you understand very well at home: Being able to eat at home instead of being forced into dining out every meal saves you money!
The cost of dining out grows higher every year and although we don’t expect you to cook every night, our fully equipped kitchens will help you save money and make the chore of meal prep not so bad. Chef quality appliances and a cheerful vibe make these spaces popular, even when only being used to brew coffee and keep your cold beverages cold.
Of course, we aren’t suggesting you eat in every meal, as this part of Montana is known for its comfort food and down-home cooking, and it would be a shame to not venture out at least a few times during your stay, but the money you can save from eating in can go towards souvenirs, adventures, or perhaps be put towards another vacation somewhere down the line.
The Space You Crave
Family vacations are meant to be a time to help draw parents and children closer together, but even with those we love, there can always be a little too much togetherness making the extra space something that appeals to all. Retreat onto porches lined with rocking chairs, waiting for the sun to set the sky on fire at sunset, as your teens play video games at the dining room tables and your tweens turn the state of the art televisions to their favorite shows. For a few minutes, at least, the squabbles will cease, and peace will reign supreme.
The Family That Plays Together
We’ve talked about having the space you need to enjoy some quiet time after the end of a long day of Yellowstone fun, but what about those moments when you really want to hang out with the family? Yes, you will be living it up as you explore the natural beauty of the area, but our cozy cabins offer all the ways to enjoy a deeper family vacation experience.
Gather around the large dining room tables in the sanctuary you chose, playing the board games that are often found on bookshelves or cabinets throughout the space. This was something you probably did many times with your own parents as a child, and the memories have become treasured ones that you want to share with your family. On rainy nights, is there anything more comforting and relaxing than popping some popcorn in the microwave and sharing the fluffy white kernels as you watch a movie together? Our state-of-the-art televisions will make you feel as if you are an extra in the movie, are seated courtside at the big basketball game, or in many cases, will actually feel like you are seated in a theater, only the seats will be more comfortable and the concessions will be a heck of a lot cheaper!
Privacy and Peace
There can be a time and a place when a hotel room will make more sense, but during your vacation in Montana, the privacy of having your own space and the peace and quiet you will experience will very likely be one of your favorite parts of your vacation. No unruly guests laughing or playing the television too loudly and no door slams or arguments in the wee hours of the morning will disrupt the night’s sleep you have been waiting for all day. Just stunning views, quiet nights, and the joy of sharing a vacation with the people you love most.
The Comfort You Deserve
You work hard every day of your life, too hard to accept lumpy mattresses and rock-hard sofas, and our Sweet Home Montana family sanctuaries provide the comfort that you deserve, something your basic hotel room often cannot. Relax and rest easily in every room we offer and wake up ready to face a new day of Montana adventures; reserve your favorite property and contact us today!
