Summer, specifically July and August, is the best time for hikers wanting to climb the peaks and reach the backcountry on foot in Kananaskis. September is another great month with changing colors and cooler night temperatures. October can be idyllic but also can experience early winter storms. Winter itself is a nice time to visit for skiers and snowsport enthusiasts.
