Sometimes it seems like winter will last forever in Wyoming. It’s true that there are spots around the state where the snow never melts off entirely, but we do get to enjoy a few months of warm weather every year.
Enduring extended winters makes you extra-appreciative of spring when it finally rolls around. The landscape changes subtly bit by bit as color begins seeping into the previously drab gray and white of winter. Baby animals start appearing and all of nature seems to celebrate the change in seasons. Spring is an enchanting time to experience Wyoming, especially at these spots where it really comes alive.
When the spring thaw comes to Wyoming, it's cause for excitement.
There are times when no one - including the flowers - can wait for the snow to finally be gone. Once it gets started, though, spring really gets on a roll.
The Bighorn Basin may not have extensive water sources of its own, but melting snow and runoff provide the wildflowers with a good start for the season.
Spring just can't seem to hold back, painting the landscape high and low with its bright colors
Though many spots around the state still get snow through April, the downpours become wetter as the season progresses, eventually turning from snow to sleet to rain. Wyomingites don't let it get them down. We know spring is just around the corner.
