Plan your road trip in Canada
with a local expert.

For a summer tour, plan to visit Canada between mid-May and mid-October. The high season is between mid-July and mid-August, which is your best bet if you are planning a road trip through the Canadian rockies. If you want to experience the beautiful colours of Indian Summer, you should travel between mid-September and mid-October.

For a winter Canada trip, it is best to travel between Christmas and mid-March. The holidays are very busy as well as the last 2 weeks of February, due to school holidays.

However, road trips in the USA are possible all year long.

Mosquitoes can be highly unpleasant, and can negatively impact your vacation if you are ill-prepared.

If you are planning a Quebec road trip during summer months, particularily in June, they will definitely be there. 

Mosquitoes are most present at sunrise and at sunset, near bodies of water and in forests. Around these times and areas, wear long and light colored clothes and do not wear perfume. Make sure your feet and ankles are covered.

Last but not least, purchase some DEET-based mosquito repellent. This will be a valuable ally against the mosquitoes throughout your trip!
