It is spread over 8,000 km / 5,500 mi. wide, from Atlantic to Pacific coasts. The place has six-time zones. So, the best time to visit Canada actually depends on your interests – it can be fishing, boating, skiing anything.
The summer season runs from mid-July through August. There are many scenic highways promising awesome summertime adventures, along the Alaska Highway, stretching nearly 1,400 miles from Dawson Creek, British Columbia, to Delta Junction. There is another one called Icefields Parkway in Alberta, which is one of the most scenic locales in the world for summer time adventure. During the summer, you can also the rent a canoe and set out on a mirrored lake or sleep under the stars.
If you are going post October, you will find most parts of Canada bathed in hues of orange, gold and yellow. This makes for stunning travel photography.
