Some the best known scenery on Earth is concentrated in a set of parks in the Canadian Rockies. Renowned for their mountain splendour, the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks are comprised of 5 National parks and 3 British Columbia provincial parks. Straddling the continental divide of Alberta and BC, Canadian Rockies Alpine is well situated to discover and explore this UNESCO World Heritage site. Rugge

d mountain peaks, glaciers, canyons and waterfalls all surrounded by flower laden forests and high alpine meadows are all accessible. Trips will leave after breakfast (9am) and return before dinner. All participants require proper clothing as mountain weather can change quickly, even in the summer. Trips are catered to group ability levels and to the season. Transport is not included in our group outings. Private, multi day and custom outings are available upon request.

Parks Canada has issued a hiking hazard warning for Banff National Park after a series of early-season rescues - including two helicopter extractions near Lake Louise.

Two hikers had wandered off-route onto terrain that was still very much in winter mode, ending up stranded on cliff edges. A third hiker, caught in deep snow north of Lake Louise off Highway 93, was pulled out by ski-borne rescuers after dark - in the middle of a storm.

A record-high snowpack at elevation means trails are becoming accessible later than usual this year, and several of the most-walked routes in the park remain buried under heavy snow and exposed to active avalanche terrain.

The trails on the watch list include some you'll recognise immediately: Lake Agnes, Plain of Six Glaciers, Little Beehive, Cory Pass Loop, the Rundle ascent from Banff, and the unofficial Sulphur Mountain back-route. Most won't be in reasonable shape until mid-June at the earliest.

Visitor safety specialist Steve Holeczi put the conditions plainly: "In the morning it's frozen solid and in the afternoon, it's in an avalanche cycle." That's not a vague caution - it's a description of how fast things change at elevation right now.

Parks Canada is also flagging that hiking apps and crowd-sourced trail reports aren't reliable at this time of year. Conditions move faster than any app updates. Check Parks Canada directly - at visitor centres or online - before heading out.

Ice cleats are recommended as a minimum. For the trails listed above, avalanche training and equipment are required.

It's still winter up high. The calendar disagrees, but the mountain doesn't care. 🏔️
