Johnston Canyon Is Closing

Parks Canada will close the popular trail beginning Oct. 13 for rockfall safety work, but Upper Falls and Ink Pots will remain accessible by another route.
The liners can collapse when Bow River levels rise, reducing how much wastewater the emergency system can carry.
The air ambulance service flew dozens of missions across the Bow Valley last year, but only one local municipality currently contributes directly.
The planned outage will run from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Oct. 4, affecting more than 7,000 customers and closing several Parks Canada facilities across Yoho and Kootenay.
Banff’s Hot Springs Are Closing Again
The golden eagle migration is picking up in Kananaskis, with peak viewing expected through much of October.

The hot springs reopened March 31 after an extended closure and major rehabilitation project. Now, Parks Canada is preparing for several weeks of planned fall maintenance, including ongoing roof deck work.
Requirements begin Oct. 1 on some B.C. routes and Nov. 1 on two national park highways in Alberta.
