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

    Oct 12th: After the recent snowfall expect trails to be covered in snow and ice. Snow levels are increasing with elevation.

    Over the coming weeks the snow line will raise and lower as precipitation rolls in and out and temperatures rise and fall.

    Always come prepared for a variety of conditions, that can change suddenly throughout the day. Note that days are getting shorter, plan your day accordingly.   

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

     

    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. Please report any downed trees on the trails.
