What May feels like
May is when everything opens — the tram, the whale boats, the glacier visitor center — and the season starts in earnest without yet being at full volume. Locals will tell you this is the month to see the icefield from the air, because the cloud sits as high as it ever does.
Rain arrives about 9 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans.
