We're hoping to spend around a month in BC next summer from mid-June to mid-July. I realize things can be different from year to year, but on average, would you think trails and such are more accessible earlier in the Coastal Mountains, esp. north of Vancouver, or the Rocky Mountains around Banff, Jasper, and the Purcell's? Just trying to figure out if it's best to go east to west or west to east during that time frame.
By June most of the snow will be gone but never dry.
The coastal areas are mountain rain forrest, always expect wet conditions even if it is sunny when you start out it can rain at anytime. The mountains can have micro climates changing from one valley system to the next.
The interior mountain systems are alittle more stable and should be drier. I have been in snow storms while climbing even in June and July. Hiking should be good but expect bugs, black flies, mosquitos, nats and noseeums.
