During the night of November 30th, 2021 a major gust front travelling a narrow path up the foothills of Kananaskis Country downed many thousands of trees.

In the shoulder seasons Gill & I often hike or winter walk trails on Public Lands close to Calgary. We have been doing this for many years and are disappointed that trails have continued to deteriorate. Braiding, mud holes, blocked drainage and signs that are missing or that have faded to being unreadable, and never been replaced.
The proposed Alberta Trails Act is on the wrong path says the the Environmental Law Centre. It’s a dangerous step on the road to privatizing Public Lands according to the Alberta Wilderness Association (AWA). In my opinion there is nothing in the Act that is likely to result in improvements to non-motorized trails in Public Land Use Zones in Kananaskis Country.

The North Fork area of Highway 549 which is open year round is always a good place to find loops for the short days of fall and winter.

Have you seen this huge billboard on Hwy. 1 at Morley Flats advertising the conservation pass? So this is what our money is being spent on.
