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.
Trail conditions in the Canmore area continue to dry out nicely. Trails on the north side of the valley, like Horseshoe Loop, have areas that are still quite muddy; please give these areas time to dry to minimize damage. Trails on the south side of the valley such as Highline are still wet in spots, with occasional snow/ice patches in drainages and shaded areas.
Please note the Construction Closure for Blasting at Cougar Creek. Lady MacDonald Trail is CLOSED until further notice.
People seeking alpine objectives should keep in mind that spring avalanches are a potential hazard, and slow, heavy wet avalanches have real potential to push hikers/scramblers into terrain traps. Please ensure you consult the Kananaskis Country Avalanche Report prior to venturing out.
Wildlife in the region is active, so remember to practice wildlife safety techniques and carry bear spray.
