Mid June better weather in Glacier NP or Olympic Ranier North Cascade NP ?
 
Planning a trip in mid june and was wondering which has better weather: Glacier national park in montana or the national parks in Washington: Mt Rainier, Olympic, and North Cascades national parks? Are there any national parks in idaho that are scenic?

Glacier can be very cold at that time of the year.

In Washington, it's a little hard to predict, as we had so much snow this winter. Still, Rainier will be open, but there will still be snow on the trails. Olympic will have more lower altitude options, North Cascades highway will likely be open, but there will be plenty of snow on the ground.

Mid June in Glacier is too early. Going to the Sun Road will NOT be open and MANY trails will still have lots of snow/ice. Last year GTTS road opened June 17. We've had a heavy snow year so my guess for the road opening would be last week of June.
