About these time zones
Pacific Standard Time (PST)
Pacific Standard Time (PST) is UTC-8. California, Washington, most of Oregon and Nevada, most of British Columbia and Baja California use PST in winter and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC-7) from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. Yukon left Pacific Time in 2020 and now stays on UTC-7 all year.
Mountain Standard Time (MST)
Mountain Standard Time (MST) is UTC-7. Denver, Salt Lake City, Alberta and most of the Mountain region use MST in winter and Mountain Daylight Time (MDT, UTC-6) in summer. Arizona (except the Navajo Nation), Sonora, several other Mexican states, Yukon and parts of British Columbia use UTC-7 all year, so in summer they match Pacific Daylight Time.
