Parks Canada is working on assessing the safety of roads, including the risk of avalanches or mud slides. We recognize this situation may cause delays and impact visitor travel plans. On Monday, Parks Canada brought approximately 60 people to safety, including hikers on the Skyline trail, paddlers on Maligne Lake and two tour buses full of passengers from Maligne Road, and staff continue to respond to stranded travellers.
⚠ Parks Canada expects to have the Miette Road open for single-lane traffic for visitors to leave Miette Hot Springs area by 7 pm, June 20. Maligne Road will remain closed for at least 48-72 hours to allow for any avalanches triggered by the storm to come down and to complete debris removal.
