Some reminders for anybody heading west. Backcount

Some reminders for anybody heading west. Backcountry use has the potential to add unnecessary stress to the health care system, put public safety staff at risk, including to exposure to COVID-19, which could then impact resources to support search and rescue.
As of March 27, access to public land and provincial parks is limited: https://albertaparks.ca/albertaparksca/news-events/alberta-environment-and-parks-response-to-covid-19/.

Reposted from @alberta_parks - Last weekend, thou

Reposted from @alberta_parks - Last weekend, thousands of Albertans flocked to our provincial parks. We observed extreme overcrowding, lack of physical distancing and litter such as diapers, human feces and garbage near closed parks facilities.

We understand the desire to get outdoors; however, Albertans must listen to the recommendations of Alberta Health Services and the Chief Medical Officer of Health.

Go for a walk in your neighborhood or visit a local park, if it's not crowded, and practice two metre physical distancing at all times. Many of our parks facilities, including washrooms, are closed to help stop the spread of COVID19, so these are unavailable.

The safety of our parks visitors, staff and volunteers and minimizing the spread of COVID-19 is our top priority. We are consulting with Alberta Health Services and the Chief Medical Officer on the status of provincial parks remaining accessible.

Mount Michener and a very frozen and windy Abraham

Mount Michener and a very frozen and windy Abraham Lake. The winds are quite normal along this valley. Mount Michener was named after Daniel Michener, Governor General of Canada from 1967 to 1974. Many people take sunrise or sunset pictures of Abraham Lake without knowing the name of the majestic mountain in the background.

Mountain Michener is very visible while driving the David Thompson Highway along Abraham Lake. It is roughly 38 kms west of Nordegg in Clearwater County, a very scenic part of David Thompson Country. #DTCountry .

Reposted from @alberta_parks Reminder: Our parks are busy as Albertans get out to exercise and enjoy some fresh air. While on the trails, practice social distancing.
.
Plan Ahead: No services or amenities like washrooms are available in our parks. This weekend we noticed garbage, used tampons, diapers, and even human waste next to our facilities! Help us keep parks clean. Whatever you take in, take it back out.
.
Think Twice: All #ABParks facilities are closed, including playgrounds. Think twice before letting children use our playgrounds. Help prevent the spread.

Reposted from @pursuit_dani Do you remember the beginning of February? That was like 6 weeks (or what feels like, a year ago). So much has changed. What are you most happy about right now? I love the time with my kids, we don't always have smooth days... The hangry gene is strong in this family. But we work well together and love each other.

Hoodoo Creek hike is an easy hike of about 6 kms. It is located west of Nordegg off the David Thompson Highway. The hike includes hoodoos, a canyon scramble and a cave. You can also get some great views of Abraham Lake along the hike. Spring hiking is just around the corner.

Hoodoo Creek is just off the David Thompson Highway along Abraham Lake, ~40 kms west of Nordegg in Clearwater County, part of David Thompson Country.

Calving is a sure sign of spring on farms all acro

Calving is a sure sign of spring on farms all across Clearwater County, a season of new life, new energy, a renewal of spirit.

Each August farms across Alberta participate in Open Farm Days. This is when farms encourage visitors to come learn about where their food comes from, how crops are planted and harvested, and how livestock is raised and cared for. In 2019 there were 8 Host Farms in Clearwater County for the Open Farm Days weekend, and we hope to have even more in 2020. Keep an eye out for announcements about when and where you will have the opportunity to experience a bit of the farm life in Alberta.

We salute the farmers of Clearwater County, an important part of David Thompson Country.

The Tuff Puff hike is a steep long climb of about 15 kms round trip and can easily take over 5 hours. Rated moderate to difficult, it is a very scenic hike for pictures. You can see the North Saskatchewan River valley before it becomes Abraham Lake and many surrounding peaks.

The Tuff Puff Trailhead is the same as the Kinglet Lake Trailhead, just a couple of kms west of the Siffleur Falls Trailhead (or Kootenay Plains Ecological Reserve) on the north side of the David Thompson Highway, ~ 67 kms west of Nordegg in Clearwater County, part of the David Thompson Country Tourism Region.

Looking forward to camping in this Trapper’s Ten

Looking forward to camping in this Trapper’s Tent at Riverview Campground near Rocky Mountain House. They are right next to the North Saskatchewan River and offer serviced RV sites, tent sites, disk golf, playground, and full bathrooms and showers. It is a good place to use as your base when exploring David Thompson Country.
