Luxury Holidays in the Canadian Rockies

Deciding the time of year to visit the Canadian Rockies depends on a variety of factors. Even during the most settled months it is not uncommon to experience multiple seasons in a day, however, it is generally considered that the summer months between June to September are the best time to visit the region. During this period temperatures are at their warmest, most snow at lower elevations would have melted, days are long and skies clear. The compromise though is that this is also the most popular time of year to travel to the region with parks and trails at their busiest. The majority of sights and outdoor activities are open and accessible from May to the middle of October and, consequently, these periods are also good times to visit. Spring is ideal for wildlife viewing and, as temperatures warm, is an ideal time to see waterfalls at their best. Autumn heralds the arrival of cooler weather and shorter days, however, the hiking is excellent and the fall scenery spectacular. Snowfall commences during November and lasts until early May making this a popular time for a range of winter activities.
