Rescue crews had another busy Saturday with calls Related to injured bikers in West Bragg creek, stranded hikers in the upper Grotto Canyon, a very lucky flipped kayaker on the Bow river and a missing hiker that was later located down near Upper kananaskis lakes.
Creek are also rising dramatically with the warm temps and rain so be prepared for this as it may be a significant barrier to your travels. Cougar creek near Canmore and grotto canyon are two places where we have had to access stranded campers before. Don’t underestimate how difficult it can be to cross a raging creek. Consequences add up quick once your in moving water, especially with a backpack.
