When to Go
The best time to go is from early July to late August, when the wildflowers are in full bloom, or in late October and early November, when the snow in the high country draws elk and deer herds down near the pass.
Know Before You Go

Crowsnest Provincial Park
Even without camping, this park offers supreme picnic spots.
Although Crowsnest Provincial Park doesn’t have any campgrounds, it is a prime spot for day-use activities along the BC-Alberta border. Hike Crowsnest Ridge, stop in to enjoy the surrounding scenery and keep an eye out for wintering elk and deer, or head over to nearby Crowsnest Pass for over 40 hiking and biking trails. Historically, this area was important to the Ktunaxa (pronounced Too-na-ha) First Nations. More recently, the area was used by fur traders and railroad builders as a low point to pass through the Rockies from east to west.
