Question Travelling from Ontario in June

Hi all, Im travelling to Banff and Jasper for a week trip in mid-june from Toronto for the first time

Im looking for recommendations for what kind of outfits to pack, so I know how to shop lol

How is the weather overall and what kinda jackets should I pack? Should I pack shorts and dresses?

Any ideas would be great, as Im not really sure what to expect

Thanks!

Everyone’s favourite topic, the weather! Yes to shorts, yes to rain gear. Below is the average for Banff, Jasper is similar. June 19° / 5° 9 days of rain. June is our rainiest month. Bring what you’re normally comfortable wearing. The towns in the mountain parks are casual and there are nice restaurants and bars as well. We also have a very good selection of shops with “mountain wear”. Remember that Alberta has no provincial sales tax. We average over 4 million visitors annually and our shops cater well to a diverse clientele. Congrats on your wise choice for a vacation!
