The project’s proponent, Alberta TrailNet, envisions the trail becoming a world-class destination trail through Kananaskis Country, with shuttle busses transporting trail users between trailheads — this may take a while! Contrary to its name, most of the trail keeps to the valley bot- toms, hardly “the Jewell in the Trans Canada Trail Crown” as touted. A mixture of old and new trails, the High Rockies Trail heads south from Goat Creek along existing trails west of the Spray/Smith-Dorrien Highway (742). It passes Goat Pond, crosses Three Sisters Dam and heads down to Driftwood day-use area where it crosses to the east side of the highway for the remainder of the way to Lower kananaskis Lake. Between Driftwood and the start Trail under construction in mossy forest. of the Buller avalanche slopes the trail winds through predominantly mossy forest. The plan was to route the trail 200–500 m uphill from the highway to catch the best views through open areas, but you don’t get much in the way of views until the trail breaks out across the scree slopes of Mount Buller. Now follows the most scenic section of the High Rockies Trail heading around Mount Buller to Chester Lake trailhead. Short con- nectors have been built to access existing day-use areas along the highway. From Chester Lake trailhead the HRT makes use of the old Sawmill ski trails, now designated as snowshoe trails, although the new bridges are wide enough for grooming and tracksetting in the future. This section is not particularly good for 2 hiking. Trail runners and mountain bik- ers will probably make use of it. One ad- vantage is that there are several possible loops for those who only have one vehi- cle and don’t want to walk back the way they came. The rest of the way to Lower Kananaskis Lake is mostly through trees with a surprising amount of height gain as a result of the designer’s efforts to find interesting creek crossings and maxi- mise the limited views. The suspension bridge, the showpiece of the trail, is on this section between Black Prince and the Lower Lake. After reaching Lower Kananaskis Lake the trail passes through Canyon campground then turns south along the power line, crossing the park road to Elkwood and on past the end of Marl On the way to Buller Creek Lake using existing paved trails. The The pointed peak is Eon Mountain final section heads south on a paved trailto Boulton Trading Post, a potential supply point for through hikers or bikers. It then follows dirt trails along Boul- ton Creek and up Fox Creek to Elk Pass on the power line where a kiosk will be erected. In winter much of the route is on groomed ski trails that are closed to fat bikes. The number of snowshoers attempting to through hike (snowshoe) the HRT in winter is likely to be very small, and they will have to snowshoe the ski trails. A group of students from BC has erected a carved cedar log portal on their side of the border welcoming visitors to the Elk Valley. The section between Goat Creek trailhead and the bridge over Buller Creek was completed summer 2015 to a very high standard. The next four phases be- tween Buller and Lower Kananaskis Lake were built in 2016. The approximately 80 km-long trail was finished before Canada’s 150th celebration in 2017. The trail caters to hikers, trail runners and mountain bikers. It remains to be seen how much the trail will be used in winter by snowshoers, skiers, winter walkers and fat-tire bikers. Note that bicycles are not allowed on any of the trails east of the HRT. The section north of Buller Creek is closed in winter because it crosses avalanche slopes. Also be aware of steep banks on some bridge approach- es that may sluff-off heavy wet snow in early spring. Take a look at the avalanche forecast before you go. 3 Maps & GPS There are three maps showing distances along the trail and connections to park- ing areas. Depending on your operating system and browser, the map will either be downloaded to your computer, or displayed on the screen—in which case right click on it (control click on a Mac) and select save or download.

    WMU 402 Goat Survey – ACA/ASRD D‐AUS Report July 2009 By Alberta Conservation Association And Alberta Sustainable Resource Development, Fish and Wildlife July, 2009 Blairmore, Alberta PERMISSION TO QUOTE This report contains preliminary information and interpretations and may be subject to future revision. To prevent the issuance of misleading information, persons wishing to quote from this report, to cite it in bibliographies or to use it in any other form must first obtain permission from the Executive Director of the Wildlife Management Branch, Fish and Wildlife Division and / or its regional representatives within the Southern Rockies Area. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The 2009 WMU 402 goat survey was navigated by Greg Hale (FW), while Mike Jokinen (ACA), Jon Jorgenson (FW) and Rob Watt (Parks Canada‐Waterton) participated as observers. The aircraft was chartered from Bighorn Helicopters with Greg Goodison as the pilot. ABSTRACT An aerial survey to monitor the status of the mountain goat population in Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) 402 was conducted on July 11th, 12th and 15th, 2009. Survey objectives included the collection of herd distribution, herd composition and total goat numbers. All mountain complexes associated with the WMU 402 goat survey received detailed aerial coverage during the survey. The WMU 402 survey area is the northern portion of Goat Management Area (GMA)–A, and currently does not have a designated goat hunting area. A total of 186 mountain goats (119 adults, 44 kids and 23 yearlings) were observed during the survey. Kid and yearling ratios per 100 adults were 37 and 19 respectively. Sixty nine goats were observed on the Alberta side of the Continental Divide while 41 goats were observed in British Columbia.

A Socio-Economic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta Interim Project Report INTROI)UCTION Recreational fishing is one of the most important recreational activities in Alberta. The report on Sports Fishing in Alberta, 1985, states that over 340,000 angling licences were purchased in the province and the total population of anglers exceeded 430,000. Approximately 5.4 million angler days were spent in Alberta and over $130 million was spent on fishing related activities. Clearly, sportsfishing is an important recreational activity and the fishery resource is the source of significant social benefits. A National Angler Survey is conducted every five years. However, the results of this survey are broad and aggregate in nature insofar that they do not address issues about specific sites. It is the purpose of this study to examine in detail the characteristics of anglers, and angling site choices, in the Southern region of Alberta. Fish and Wildlife agencies have collected considerable amounts of bio-physical information on fish habitat, water quality, biology and ecology.
