In Alberta and British Columbia, temperatures vary significantly depending on location, time of day and season. Summer temperatures range from a low 10°C (50°F) to a high of 30°C (90°F).
Plan to bring a sweater, slacks, and a light topcoat or raincoat, as well as lightweight summer wear. Pack sturdy comfortable shoes, especially if you plan to walk in the mountains. In Spring and Fall, include a light coat or warm jacket if you're travelling to high altitudes.
