• Many of the trails in the benchlands above Canmore are located in a critical wildlife corridor. This corridor allows animals such as bears, cougar, wolves, and elk to move between habitat patches. These are places where they can find food, escape predators, breed, give birth, and establish territories.
  
  
• Within this wildlife corridor people are restricted to designated trails. This will help prevent human-wildlife conflicts and minimize disturbance to wildlife. See the enclosed map for the boundary of the corridor and the designated trails. It is not legal to use trails other than those shown on this map or on posted signs while in this corridor.
  
  
• There is always the potential of encounters with wildlife in our mountain environment. Make your presence known to animals so you don’t startle them. Call out regularly. Keep your dog on a leash. Please let us know if you see a bear or cougar by calling Kananaskis Dispatch at 591-7755.
  
  
• These trails are shared by hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders. Please be courteous and respect the rights of other trail users. Remember that people, like animals, don’t like to be startled. Warn others of your approach.
  
  
• Trails may be closed temporarily due to bear activity or other wildlife concerns. For your safety and that of wildlife, please respect these closures.

By limiting your activity to the signed trails shown on the map below, you can help protect wildlife and ensure the continued enjoyment of these trails by you and your friends!
