Stanley, Idaho is a mountain town meaning we experience a diversity of weather phenomena throughout the year. In general May-June you’ll experience cooler temps with sun starting to shine strongly towards the middle of June, we can always have the sneaky start of summer snow if temps get low enough so keep some extra layers with you. From the end of June-August you can expect relatively consistent weather with temperatures in the 70-85° range with little humidity and cooler nights. We agree…pretty ideal.
