O?T Visiting west in the Spring

depending on what you want to see I'd think May would be nice. But there could still be snow in high passes and a lot of places do not open for the summer until Decoration Day
 
Past summer we were at Crater Lake in Oregon and all the roads werent opened until 4th of July......

DO NOT MISS Crater Lake, then we headed North to Mt Rainier, then to Montanna/Wyoming DO NOT MISS Glacier Natl Park (Take the Big Antique Red Bus Tour and dont miss Many Glacier Hotel on the East side of park) and the Going to the Sun Road then take the Beartooh Scenic Highway down to Yellowstone then right into The Grand Tetons...

HOWEVER its at least June (maybe mid June) until many of the high mountain pass roads are open

We did 8 Natl Parks and those western road trips are about the finest sites Ive ever seen

Problem is Spring is almost too early for what I mentioned above due to snow butttttttt if you do the Grand Circle of 5 Natl Parks in Utah (Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, Arches) then early spring is fine cuz its too hot starting in late May (we did those parks on another western tour)

I agree. Many places in the northwest don't really warm up till late june/ early july. The rodeo in Sisters Oregon(my old stomping grounds) is held the 2nd weekend in June. Sat thru many COLD and snowy weekends there.

The southwest is nice in early may. Although we left Bryce Canyon on about the 2nd of May a few years ago and heard on the radio the next day that it had snowed a foot. Luckily we had headed south...

I want to see flowers blooming, green grass if there is any.Crops being put in. Snow caps on the mountains. I really like to get off the main roads and see the rural areas. Thanks for your replies.
