The best time to travel is during the summer months (June to August) as the weather is pleasant and there is also likely to be good wildlife spotting opportunities when in the Great Bear Rainforest. Clayoquot is open from May to September each year. Here, spring and fall are often warm and pleasant but rainfall can be heavy, particularly on the coast. In Montana, June through to August is the peak time to travel with days hot and sunny and evening temperatures pleasant. Seattle and Vancouver should also boast daytime temperatures in the twenties throughout this time.

Pike Place Market is another popular choice with everything from comic books to antiques, crafts and imaginative foods spilling out from the many stalls.

You will then fly to Missoula where you will be transferred privately to The Ranch at Rock Creek for your final four nights. The perfect way to end your trip on a high, The Ranch at Rock Creek combines perfectly an authentic ranch experience with activities aplenty and luxurious accommodation. Horse riding is central to the dude ranch experience but activities are far from limited; try skeet shooting, embark on hikes, jeep tours and even go mountain biking. In the summer months, the ranch also hosts its very own rodeo! In the evenings guests can toast s’mores over a crackling fire, enjoy ten-pin bowling or simply relax in the in-house cinema. After an invigorating few days in America's Wild West you will be transferred to Bozeman to connect with your flight back home via Chicago.
