A Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required to park your vehicle in Kananaskis and the Bow Valley.

    June 10th: The warm weather has dried out the trails and most should be in good shape. Check the weather forecast before heading out as rain is expected in the coming days.

    Special Weather Statement is in effect for the area this weekend. Expect heavy rain and high winds, both of which could change the trail conditions rapidly. Plan your trip accordingly.

    Be aware of closures in the area and check advisories before you go.

    Notes:

    • Be wildlife aware! Practice wildlife safety. Travel in groups, make noise on the trail, and keep pets on leash. Carrying bear spray and knowing how to use it is highly recommended, even in winter.
    • It's tick season! Make sure to check you and your pets when you get home. For best protection, use a bug repellent with DEET.
    • Caution is advised for natural hazards such as downed trees.
    • Be aware, cows in the area, do not approach them.
