Parks Closed to Vehicle Access due to COVID-19

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.

The Sibbald area is popular with winter hikers and snowshoers; however, its favourable geography makes for extremely variable conditions. During Chinooks, the temperature can rise from as low as -30 to as high as 10 degrees Celsius, so always be sure to layer your clothing. Come prepared for variable weather and low temperatures, particularly in the mornings. Winds can be strong in this area. Watch for natural areas including thin ice at creek crossings, ice flows, sagging tree limbs and some deadfall.

If venturing into the backcountry, please be prepared and consult the Avalanche Canada report.

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.
Powderface Road is open to snowmobile traffic December 1st to April 30th.
