Attacked by a Blue Grouse who followed us for 300 m along the Well Road between trailheads for U Shoulda & Floe's Diner, nipping at our ankles. Lost him about 200 metres down Floe's Diner

Finally, the winter gate on Hwy. 66 is being moved to just beyond Powderface and Beaver Flats parking lots.

The trail up Prairie Mountain from Hwy. 66 is closed until at least May 1st to avoid damaging the newly constructed trail.
