Experience the Thrill of the Mountain Daylight Time Zone

If you're not at your intended location, you may notice a time difference from Mountain Daylight Time (MDT). MDT is six hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC - 6:00). Essentially, this means that when you're trying to find the standard time in the relevant zone, you'll need to subtract six hours from the Coordinated Universal Time.

The territories that observe this time zone are primarily located in North America, running through a myriad of U.S. states, including Colorado, Kansas, and Texas, as well as Canada to the North and Mexico to the South. When referring to specific areas in this time zone, it could be called an additional title, such as Mountain Daylight Saving Time (MDST), North American Mountain Daylight Time (NAMDT), or Heure Avancee des Rocheuses (HAR) in French.

Many locations that use this time zone shift to Mountain Standard Time (MST) during the fall and winter period, and then revert back to Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) when daylight saving commences in the spring and summer.

For your reference, here's a list of areas that belong in the Mountain Daylight Time Zone:

• North America
• - United States: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Wyoming
• - Canada: Alberta, British Columbia, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan
