  • Barrier Lake Reservoir the Critters of K-Country: Pine Grosbeaks
    Is it us, or has this been the strangest of winters, weather-wise? If You Admire the View, You Are a Friend Of Kananaskis In this month's newsletter... Rebuilding Kananaskis Country's Interpretive Trails News from the Board: Creating volunteer opportunities for you Other News: The winter speaker series is back -- and so are the bears, plus a survey opportunity Kananaskis Special Places: Barrier Lake Reservoir The Critters of K-Country: Pine Grosbeaks Rebuilding Kananaskis Country's Interpretive Trails by Nancy Ouimet, Program Coordinator We received fantastic news this week. The Calgary Foundation has approved a $77,000 grant to support our Rebuilding Kananaskis Country’s Interpretive Trails project. In partnership with Alberta Parks, the Friends of Kananaskis Country is working to replace interpretive signage that was damaged or destroyed by the 2013 flood. This is the first phase of a much larger initiative to refresh all interpretive trail signage; currently there are 32 official interpretive trails, and we are targeting refreshing 3 trails per year. The goal of this project is to foster a relationship between the visitor, the natural environment, and the flood affected area. This project will enhance visitor’s knowledge, thus positively influencing their awareness and understanding about the natural aspects of the site. More specifically, it will provide an opportunity to share the unique story of the 2013 flood, outline the environmental impacts at various natural sites, and highlight the community’s support and involvement in rebuilding Kananaskis Country. We are adopting an approach of fewer, but more engaging and effective, interpretive signs (4-6 signs) to reduce distractions and allow the site to speak for itself.

  • MOUNT LORETTE, FALL 2010 with Notes on the Steeples, BC Site Www
    MOUNT LORETTE, FALL 2010 with notes on the Steeples, BC site www.eaglewatch.ca Peter Sherrington Research Director, Rocky Mountain Eagle Research Foundation Introduction The Mount Lorette site is located in the Kananaskis Valley in the Front Ranges of the Rocky Mountains (50o58’N 115o8’W) 70km due west of Calgary and immediately north-east of the Nakiska Ski Hill on Mount Allan. At this point the valley trends north-south and cuts obliquely across the NW-SE oriented trend of the Front Ranges. To the east of the observation site the Fisher Range has an average elevation of about 2500m with Mt. McDougall rising to 2726m. Mount Lorette itself is 2487m and is a continuation of the Fisher Range to the NW. To the west the mountains of the Kananaskis Range are somewhat higher and include Mount Kidd (2958m), Mount Bogart (3144m) and Mount Allan (2819m). The observation site is in a cleared area on the valley floor known as the Hay Meadow at about 1433m. The site allows 360o views of the surrounding mountains and allows monitoring of raptors moving along the mountain ridges to the east and west, and especially those crossing the valley between Mount Lorette and the north end of the Fisher Range. The site is unique in that it allows observation of approximately the same high percentage of a population of migratory Golden Eagles both in spring and fall at exactly the same site, which has in the past been occupied for up to 190 days in a year. When downslope cloud obscures these mountains an alternate site at Lusk Creek, 13km NE of the Hay Meadow site, is used to observe birds moving along the westernmost foothills ridge that have been displaced to the east from the Front Ranges.

  • Structural Control of the Morphometry of Open Rock Basins, Kananaskis Region, Canadian Rocky Mountains
    5" %~ '.5" :7~, 6[mU ELSEVIER Geomorphology 22 (1998) 313-324 Structural control of the morphometry of open rock basins, Kananaskis region, Canadian Rocky Mountains D.J. Sauchyn a,*, D.M. Cruden b, X.Q. Hu c,1 a Department of Geography, University of Regina, Regina, Saskatchewan $4S OA2, Canada b Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2G7, Canada c Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2E3, Canada Received 12 September 1996; revised 18 July 1997; accepted 14 August 1997 Abstract The morphometry of chutes (couloirs), rock funnels, and open cirques are related to the structure of dissected rock masses in the Kananaslds region of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Data for ten morphometric variables were derived from digital elevation models of 56 open rock basins. The basins were classified structurally according to the relative orientations of bedding planes and the rock slopes. A hypothesis of no differences in morphometry among structural classes is rejected from the results of nonparametric analysis of variance and paired comparisons of rank scores. Basins on dip and overdip slopes have a distinct :size, and those on anaclinal slopes have a distinct width and shape. Variation in morphometry from low compactness and area/relief (chutes) to high compactness and low area/relief (funnels) to high compactness and area/relief (open cirques) corresponds to a change in dominant structure from orthoclinal to dip-overdip to underdip to anaclinal. The dip of bedding planes relative to the slope of rockwalls controls the mode of initial displacement of joint blocks and, thereby, the spatial distribution of the retreat of rockwalls.
