Summer temperatures range from highs in the 80’s to lows around 50°F. Layering clothing is a good plan, because summer temperatures can reach the 90’s but the nights are cool, especially in the higher elevations. Comfortable clothing is important, for example, jeans, shorts, teeshirts, sweatshirts, windbreakers. Dress casually. Pack sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat, and be aware of how your body reacts to less oxygen: Wyoming has the second highest average elevation in the US.
