[MCR] Area Closure 1A: Banff National Park

Just passing this message along from the Banff Fire Management team. This closure includes all the climbing on Mt. Cory as well as the Mt Edith and Mt Louis approaches.  I believe the closure is in effect until May 30th:


Please note the following area closure effective today, April 30, 2014:

Where: The area between Hillsdale Meadow at the east end of the Hillsdale split to the Fireside day-use area (including parking lot and Edith and Mt. Cory trails - Edith pass trail to its junction with Cory pass trail). Highway 1A, the Bow Valley Parkway, is still open for vehicular travel (see link for map).

Why: To ensure public safety during prescribed fire operations.
