    June 9th: The trails will be wet from the recent rain. Extra caution is required in areas with flowing water. Expect the snow depth to increase with elevation.

    Keep in mind that spring avalanches are a potential hazard. Pay close attention to freezing levels, solar radiation and new precipitation (either as rain or snow) at this time of year as avalanche danger has lots of variables.

    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. Bears are up and active. 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.
    • It's tick season! Make sure to check you and your pets when you get home. For best protection, use a bug repellent with DEET.
