June 10th: With the recent warm weather and lack of precipitation most of the trails should be dry, but there could be lingering snow or muddy sections at higher elevation.
Recent fireguard work has changed the wind profile on affected trails, and may result in an increased likelihood of tree fall and downed trees. Downed trees can happen at any time and any place, particularly in windy areas such as the Bow Valley. Be prepared to turn around, route find or climb over/under fallen trees. Report tree debris and fallen trees to Parks staff.
Always come prepared for a variety of conditions, that can change suddenly throughout the day.
Be aware of closures and avalanche risks in the area and check advisories before you go.
