A day after Alberta Parks officials warned hikers to be wary while on some trails and pathways, a bear warning has been issued for all of Kananaskis Country. A bear closure remains in effect along the TransAlta Road west of Highway 40 near the Ghost River and between Don Getty Wildland Provincial Park and Highway 40 because of that incident. The next day, a woman cycling in the Canmore area was attacked by a black bear. "Please respect all closures and observe bear smart techniques when visiting Kananaskis." A woman suffered serious injuries when she was mauled by a grizzly bear protecting her cubs on Tuesday in the Waiparous area.
