What type of clothing is normally worn around the Western Cordillera?

Question

Im thinking of going to see the Rocky Mountains, but im not so sure if that area has a warm or cool climate? So i was just wondering what type of clothing do people usually wear around the Western Cordillera?

Answer 1

I had to look it up to be sure exactly what you meant by the Western Cordillera since I've never heard anyone call it that unless they were a geologist or writing an article for a magazine. If you'll be in mountains in summer or spring, it could go anywhere from very hot in daytime in the sun to quite cool at night or in the shade, how cold it gets will depend how high up you are. People wear whatever kind of clothes keep them warm enough at night but shorts and T-shirt might be wanted for daytime.
