Wonderful!  The high temperatures in June normally range from the upper 70s to 90s.  Most days are dry and clear.  The temperature at night is comfortable, and routinely dips into the upper 50s, but can be cooler on occasion.  With most days filled with beautiful weather, the views of the valley and the surrounding mountains are consistently spectacular. It may be raining, windy, or sunny; so bring sunscreen, maybe a hat and windbreaker.
