Let’s start at square one. There’s a good chance you’re asking yourself when is the best time of the year to visit the Rocky Mountains? Well, the answer is there is no right time. The mountains are a year round destination. It’s pretty individual when it comes down to looking at things like weather, temperature, seasonal activities and budget. Maybe you want to visit during a popular event such as the Lake Louise Ice Magic Festival or attend the Calgary Stampede? Looking to ski? Well, in the Rockies, spring time is still skiing season. So the follow up question might be how to pack for a Canadian Rocky Mountain trip? If you’re visiting between November and March then a heavy winter coat and clothing are a must. The rest of the year has a wide range of conditions and temperatures, so just be prepared for anything mother nature throws your way!
