How Crowded Is Fort Laramie National Historic Site in June?

June runs about 1.8× Fort Laramie National Historic Site's average month, which makes it a very busy month here — roughly 15% of the park's yearly visitors come in June.

In a typical June the park sees roughly 6,900 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 1979 to 2025.

That makes June the 3rd-busiest of the park's twelve months, sitting between the July peak (2.3×) and the January low (0.2×).

On our Best Time to Visit score June rates 62/100 ("Good") — the single best-rated month at Fort Laramie, balancing crowds against weather and daylight.

Typical June weather, from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals at the nearest station, averages a daytime high near 83°F and an overnight low around 50°F, with about 2.2" of precipitation.

That average of about 66°F is a comfortable range for hiking and being outdoors all day.

June falls inside the park's busiest stretch: June, July and August together pull about 51% of the year's visitors, so a visit this month means sharing the park with the peak-season crowd.

You'll have about 15.1 hours of daylight in June to explore — near the year-round maximum.

Park-wide, 2025 drew 36,998 recreation visits, down 16% from 44,045 in 2024.

Across the past decade overall visitation has eased about 12.3%, so June may feel a touch quieter than it once did.
