When is the earliest time to visit Banff and Jasper for everything to be (re)opened?
For visiting Banff and Jasper (a map here), when is the earliest time to visit given the following assumptions 1-4? E.g., will late May or early June be too early? The traveller:
must avert higher accommodation prices, and so cannot visit, during the peak season (ie: late June to early September).
wishes everything (e.g. businesses, trails, etc...) to have (re)opened and resumed.
does not hike regularly or professionally, and intends only some easy or moderate hiking.
wishes to experience this region as close to summertime and the summer season as possible, without any elements of winter that shall have disappeared and melted (e.g. ice, snow, etc...).
Best Answer
The high temperature in Banff and Jasper today is mid-50s (F). There's mention of brief road closures for avalanche risk, but not for unplowed snow. Hotels are available. Unless there is a particular activity you need to check on, I'd think now. (I'm not sure what you mean by snow disappearing; if you look high enough up, you'll see snow any time.)
