During late spring, the landscape is lush and green, and the Bighorn River is ideal for fishing and other water activities. Temperatures are comfortable, typically ranging from the 50s to 70s Fahrenheit, making it a good time for hiking and exploring the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. This period is particularly appealing for couples looking for scenic drives and outdoor adventures without the peak summer rush.
