What's Happening?
Due to weather and contracting delays the Rockpile Trail will not be
opened for this weekend as originally planed.:
Partial opening of the trail is anticipated for mid-July.
The Consolation Lakes Trail will be open by the end of this week or
early next week and additional barricades and signs will be put up to
prevent visitors form entering into the construction area from the back
trail.
Why is this being done?
These improvements will give visitors to Moraine Lake better viewing
opportunities and will help reduce off-trail environmental impacts.
What does this mean for you and our visitors?
We appreciate the patience of our visitors, tour operators and Moraine
Lake Lodge while this work is underway.
This project will provide for an improved visitor experience once
completed and enhance the protection of sensitive vegetation.
