Higher elevations will still have snow lingering, however spring in most of Montana is coming back to life! Rivers are rushing, wildflowers are blooming in May, and temperatures are rising! This is a great time of year to enjoy the beauty of Montana without a lot of tourists, meaning more privacy during your elopement! Montana in the spring can be very unpredictable, as there are high chances of rain and even snow, so being flexible is crucial.
Spring (March- May)
Winter in Montana is perfect for those who enjoy skiing, snowboarding, and snowmobiling! Winters in Montana can be very cold, however, often seeing temperatures below zero. December and January are the coldest and snowiest months of the year.
Winter (December- March)
Fall in Montana is truly surreal, as the beautiful landscapes are covered with shades of red, orange, and yellow! Temperatures will get rather cold by the end of September, however the scenery is truly worth braving the cold! There is a potential for early snow and freezes, so have a backup plan just in case!
Fall (September- November)
Summer time in Montana is absolutely gorgeous, and warmer temperatures means it's agreat time to enjoy outdoor recreational activities! Tourism can be high in a lot of areas though, like Glacier National Park, so be prepared to tough some crowds depending on where you elope.
Summer (July- September)
When choosing your destination and date for your elopement there are several factors to consider- such as tourism, weather, and scenery. Each season brings something unique to the table, and there are pros and cons to eloping in Montana during every season!
