I live in south west Montana, and it has been a big snow year, and we often get big spring storms in April. There will be very little hiking without snowshoes that time of year, and avalanche danger may well be extreme. In addition most park facilities will be closed still and the many great things to do such as rafting, fishing and backcountry camping will be impossible or very difficult. July or August would be great. If you want to escape the crowds consider Sept or early October. All this said, it is such a magnificent place you will love it whenever. I don't mean to discourage you, but want you to know what you are in for.
