WEATHER AND HOW TO PACK

GEOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE

The Kingfisher tenure is located in the rugged expanse of the Central Monashees, the Pinnacles, and the Valhalla Mountains in British Columbia. Expect cold and snowy weather in the winter months, and weather in the region can change quickly and temperatures vary based on time of day and placement of the sun. You can expect to experience the high-altitude chill both in the morning and evening hours. Crisp mornings can give way to abundant sunshine and warmer afternoon temperatures. It is important to be prepared for a wide range of weather conditions. Plan accordingly with plenty of warm layers and rain gear to prepare yourself for cooler temperatures and unpredictable weather.
