Delays of Rockpile Trail Redevelopment At Moraine Lake

What's Happening?
   Due to weather and contracting delays the Rockpile Trail will not be
   opened for this weekend as originally planed.:
   Partial opening of the trail is anticipated for mid-July.
   The Consolation Lakes Trail will be open by the end of this week or
   early next week and additional barricades and signs will be put up to
   prevent visitors form entering into the construction area from the back
   trail.

Why is this being done?
   These improvements will give visitors to Moraine Lake better viewing
   opportunities and will help reduce off-trail environmental impacts.


What does this mean for you and our visitors?
   We appreciate the patience of our visitors, tour operators and Moraine
   Lake Lodge while this work is underway.
   This project will provide for an improved visitor experience once
   completed and enhance the protection of sensitive vegetation.
