Parks Canada says significant rain and snow have also closed some roads in Jasper National Park
Officials say in a statement that the park has received more than 100 millimetres of rain and 55 centimetres of snow in some locations.
“Parks Canada is working on assessing the safety of roads, including the risk of avalanches or mudslides,” says the statement. “We recognize this situation may cause delays and impact visitor travel plans.” It adds that parks staff had to help about 60 people – including hikers on the Skyline trail, paddlers on Maligne Lake and two tour buses full of passengers from Maligne Road – and continue to respond to stranded visitors.
