Yellowstone/Teton Spring 2016 Inquiry
Hello, I am looking for anyone who has visited the Yellowstone/Teton National Parks area in late April to early May in order to gain a better understanding of the typical weather found during this...

Mid-May can be good. If the longrange forecast for this winter holds, it's likely the snow may be gone from the roads by then; if not, then late May/early June are good. April is too early for most facilities, including CGs, to be open, and there is no boondocking in the park, even if roads are open. Baby animals will probably not be seen much until late May. If the park is open, there are other tourists there, but the crowds don't really start in earnest until mid- to late June, and get thickest from 4th of July through late August.
Definitely check on closing & opening dates for the various facilities online, as suggested, and keep up on it. Bear in mind that some of the larger CGs in the park are reservable a year or so in advance.
