How Crowded Is Fort Laramie National Historic Site in November?

November runs about 0.2× Fort Laramie National Historic Site's average month, which makes it a very quiet month here — roughly 2% of the park's yearly visitors come in November.

In a typical November the park sees about 880 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 1979 to 2025.

That makes November the 9th-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 November rates 45/100 ("Fair"), versus the top-rated June at 62/100 — best overall balance of crowds, weather and daylight.

Typical November weather, from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals at the nearest station, averages a daytime high near 52°F and an overnight low around 22°F, with about 0.5" of precipitation and roughly 3" of snow.

That average of about 37°F is cool, so layers and a shorter daylight window matter.

Because June, July and August together draw about 51% of annual visitors, choosing November instead steps outside that summer crush — the single biggest lever on how crowded the park feels.

You'll have about 9.6 hours of daylight in November to explore — between the 8.9-hour midwinter low and the 15.1-hour summer high.

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 November may feel a touch quieter than it once did.
