'Multiple hikers' injured or killed in rock slide near Bow Lake in Banff National Park, RCMP says

A rockslide struck hikers along the trail by Bow Lake Falls within Banff National Park on June 19, 2025, causing multiple injuries and at least one fatality.
The slide occurred after a large mountain shelf broke loose, following reports of rumbling and small rocks falling earlier that day.
Emergency responders from Parks Canada, RCMP, Lake Louise Fire Department, STARS air ambulance, and Banff fire-rescue teams quickly mobilized to the remote site about 37 km north of Lake Louise.
Two patients were airlifted by STARS helicopters to Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary, and Parks Canada urged visitors to avoid the area to allow safe emergency operations.
The incident remains under active response with temporary closures on the Icefields Parkway expected, and officials expressed sorrow while emphasizing visitor safety during recovery.
