The Wind Rivers & Squamish are definitely high on my list. If you do go to the Pacific Northwest, check out Mazama Rock in the North Cascades, Paul "Woody" Woodrum, an old RRG climber, was involved in developing the area. Also, to the north in Canada, I would highly recommend Skaha Bluffs. That area has over 300 routes on 16 different crags with a good mixture of sport & trad.

July = Vedauwoo (with a couple side trips to the front range)
Aug. = Squamish.
Save gas money, and who wants to hike into the mesquito hell of the winds at that time of the year? Both places have sport, trad, bouldering and even some aid in a wide range of ratings and styles.

Lander would be a great central location to hang for the summer. The winds aren't too hospitable until late Aug, as mentioned, but the good bouldering and awesome sport climbing should hold you over. There is a lot of great stuff within reasonable striking distance. Tetons, Cody bouldering, Tensleep sport climbing, Devil's Tower/Needles, Fremont Canyon,Vedauwoo. Rifle's not that far away and some of the good Northern Utah areas are within a half a days drive as well. Have fun whatever you chose, sounds like a good time
