Parks Closed to Vehicle Access due to COVID-19

If you have to drive to get to this park - DON'T GO.

As part of Alberta’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, public access to our outdoor spaces is open, however Alberta Parks indoor facilities, including washrooms and vault toilets, as well as permanent outdoor shelters within Kananaskis are now closed to public access. Also, all vehicle access to Provincial Parks and recreation areas is closed at this time.

Trails in the Canmore area typically hold snow throughout the winter but those found on south facing slopes, particularly in open areas, may prove to viable hiking options even in the winter months. If looking for hiking, consider trails on the north side of the valley.

Please note that in Kananaskis Country throughout the winter months, south and west facing slopes are blasted by prevailing winds, depositing snow on north and east facing slopes which can increase the possibility of avalanches originating on these loaded slopes. Please ensure you consult the Kananaskis Country Avalanche Report prior to venturing out.

Depending on your objective, you may want to consider packing headlamps, hiking poles, toques and gloves, appropriate outerwear, ice axes and avalanche equipment.

Closures:

Grassi Lakes Interpretive Trail - Seasonal Closure

Notes:

Be wildlife aware! Traveling in groups, making noise on trail, keeping pets on leash and carrying bear spray is highly recommended. See the Wildlife Safety page for more information.
Be aware of avalanche conditions! Current conditions can be found at Avalanche Canada.
