Fires west of Rocky
« on: September 01, 2017, 12:31:03 PM »
      Just a heads up if anyone is heading to the hills in the next bit.  There is a fire in the Coral Creek are and the siffleur/coral staging area is shut down.

      Also a fire in the whiterabbit valley heading east.  Was told by the office in Rocky that there won't be any access to the South Ram, signs going up today.  Hummingbird is staying open for the time being.

Looks like the province has shut down the back country in the south west and the feds have shutdown Waterton.

A lot of landowners and lease holders are restricting access as well.

Be careful and safe.

There is still a lot of smoke in the air now. Or no.
