Sep 3rd: Expect the trails to be a mix of wet and dry patches. Cold nights and warm days are a reminder that the season is changing. Come prepared for a variety of conditions and note that the days are now growing shorter.

Recent fireguard work has changed the wind profile on affected trails and may result in an increased likelihood of tree fall and downed trees. Downed trees can happen at any time and any place, particularly in windy areas such as the Bow Valley. Be prepared to turn around, route find or climb over/under fallen trees. Report tree debris and fallen trees to Parks staff.

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

Closures:

Cloudline Trail, Highline Trail from the East Connector junction: Fire Guard

Notes:

Practice wildlife safety. Bears are up and active. 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.
Caution is advised for natural hazards such as downed trees, washouts and missing bridges. Route-finding may be necessary.
Be sure not to overestimate your ability when planning your trip: Humility can be a life saver. Plan for rapidly changing conditions and bring extra socks.
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.

Warnings:

Canmore Nordic Centre PP: Bear
