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

Nov 30: Expect trail to be snow covered, increasing in depth with elevation. Icy sections could exist.

At any time come prepared for a variety of conditions. You may want to consider bringing hiking poles, microspikes, toques, gloves and multiple layers.

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

Closures:

Lady Macdonald and Cougar Creek Canyon Blasting Closure: Construction
Pigeon Mountain: Closed Dec 1 - Jun 15 for protection of critical winter range for elk and bighorn sheep.
West Wind Valley: Closed Dec 1 - Jun 15 for protection of critical winter range for elk and bighorn sheep.

Notes:

Be aware of avalanche conditions. Current conditions can be found at Avalanche Canada.
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.
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.
