One of the best places would be Rexburg, Idaho. On August 16, a representative day, the sky is clear or mostly clear 89% of the time, partly cloudy 2% of the time, and mostly cloudy or overcast 8% of the time.

The Tetons sound like the most scenic place to be, but the Tetons are also subject to monsoon weather. That may be a given in August no matter where you go. Thanks for the link, Dave.
