Section of Banff National Park remains closed to visitors one year after rockfall
A section of trail near Bow Glacier Falls in Banff National Park remains closed nearly a year after a rockfall killed two hikers and injured three others.
Parks Canada is conducting a geotechnical assessment and has not announced when the area will reopen.
Parks Canada reports no known violations of the closure but warns that violators could face arrest or fines up to $25,000.
The closure began on June 19, 2025, following a rockfall caused by natural geological forces common in mountainous areas.
