Spring Spring is snow-melt season. Temperatures and weather conditions waver between warm and summery to cool and wintry. Until mid-May, when the highway into Yellowstone opens back up, this is a quiet time of the year. In the valley, wildflowers begin to dot the landscape. By Memorial Day, temperatures have usually improved and winter is but a distant memory.
Rivers run full and fast, then slow and clear.
Trails into the mountains open. Lake temperatures rise to a level where the brave can swim. The Grand Teton Music Festival attracts lovers of the arts from near and far. In short, town jumps to life with the street bustling with energy. The length of the day expands to help us all fit in more hiking, biking, camping, kayaking, climbing, fishing, golfing, or whatever summertime pursuit we prefer.
