Mountain Climbing in Canada: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

Canada is the northernmost country in North America, sharing a border with the United States predominantly to the south as well as to the west via Alaska. Known for its wide open landscapes and forested wilderness, this multilingual country has everything a thrill seeker could possibly want. Mountain-top glaciers run down into crisp rivers that cut through the jagged mountains and hillsides for a never-ending playground of gorges and canyons. From east to west and back again, all within proximity to major transportation hubs.

Massive mountainside

The Canadian territory is a unique place. Not only because of its size and geography, but for the number of lakes, rivers, flora and fauna. It contains a considerable amount of fresh water, much of it emanating from its countless lakes that exceed 2 million. And the forested regions spread across its countryside, guaranteeing mountain climbs in the pure American wilderness.

Prized pristine landscapes

Vast and wild scenery dominate Canada, especially the rugged regions in the west. UNESCO-listed World Heritage Sites scattered across the mountainside, giant peaks perfect for climbing, picturesque parks that are protected. Canada has it all, including the Banff National Park, the oldest in the country, and holds some of the most iconic landscapes that make Canada a climbing hotspot.

**Easy mountain access **

Although Canada is full of epic natural spots from coast to cost, covering immense territory, the majority of Canadian mountains stand along the provincial border between British Columbia and Alberta. The large cities here, such as Vancouver and Calgary provide good access via roads and rails to the wilder mountainside sections within the western provinces, giving ideal access.

Weather in Canada can be extreme, yet the summer months are consistently pleasant, with moderate to warm temperatures. The mountainous regions tend to avoid severe weather during the summer, though the continental climate of the interior can be dramatic.
