A Canadian Rockies road trip is not planned the same way as a Vancouver Island itinerary. Indeed, if it is possible to travel to Vancouver and its surroundings year-round, it is not the case of the Rockies, which receive significant snow accumulations between the months of November and April.

Generally speaking, the months of July and August are the most in demand. It is during this period that there are the most travelers in Western Canada and it is also during these 2 months that the prices are the highest.
