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

Dec 7th: Expect hiking and snowshoeing trails to be covered with wet snow and ice and slush underneath, snow generally increasing in depth with elevation.

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

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

Annual Road Closures:

Powderface Road: Closed Dec 1st - May 14th.

Closures:

Vehicle access to Jumpingpound PRA - Closed to vehicle access. Facilities not maintained.

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.
Alberta Parks no longer maintains Public Land-Use Zone (Kananaskis PLUZ and Sibbald PLUZ) trails, with the exception of Baldy Pass as it is within a Provincial Recreation Area.
