As part of Alberta’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, public access to our outdoor spaces is open, however Alberta Parks indoor facilities and permanent outdoor shelters within Kananaskis are closed to public access.
Trails in the Canmore area are wet and muddy at the valley bottom, with snow coverage becoming more consistent as elevations increase. Trail users looking for elevation should come prepared for 10 or more centimeters of snow.
Please note the Construction Closure for Blasting at Cougar Creek. Lady MacDonald Trail is CLOSED until further notice.
Wildlife in the region is active, so remember to practice wildlife safety techniques and carry bear spray.
Be aware as most trails have seen a substantial increase of users over the summer, and this trend appears to be continuing into the fall. Please exercise physical distancing, particularly at trailheads.
Closures:
Construction Closure: Cougar Creek Blasting Area
Construction Closure: Grassi Lakes Climbing Area (does not affect hiking trails)
