Alberta Parks has issued a wildlife warning for part of the Upper Kananaskis Lake Circuit Trail after an aggressive moose was reported.
The advisory took effect Sept. 16 and will remain in place until further notice.
It covers the south side of the trail from Upper Lake Day Use to Point Campground — but not the campground itself — as well as the Hidden Lake area in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park.
A separate closure was issued Sept. 15 for the Rockwall Trail and the Peter Lougheed Discovery Centre meadow due to multiple bears feeding in the area. That order will also remain in place until further notice.
Three additional wildlife warnings were put in place last week after cougar and bear encounters.
Alberta Parks says a cougar has been seen at the base of the Baldy Crag twice since Sept. 4, leading to a Sept. 11 warning for the Mount Baldy rock climbing area and North Baldy scramble route.
Two bear warnings followed Sept. 12. One covers the Village Rim Trail and surrounding area in Kananaskis Village, where a bear bluff charged a hiker. The other applies to the Burstall Pass trail, parking lot and surrounding area, where a bear bluff charged a hiker and bear spray was used.
All warnings and closures remain in effect until further notice.
Alberta Parks urges visitors to travel in groups, make noise, leash pets, carry bear spray, secure all attractants and report wildlife sightings to 403-591-7755.
