Banff Rockfall Shuts Down Trails | Edmonton News
Description
A massive rockfall slammed into Banff National Park near Rundle Rock, sending tons of debris crashing down around 11 AM—thankfully with no injuries, as hikers nearby narrowly escaped unharmed. Parks Canada has shut down the area, including popular climbing spots, for a full geotechnical investigation. Witnesses described the deafening crash and dust cloud, with one climber and his young son lucky to be out of harm’s way. Emergency crews responded swiftly, and the incident underscores the unpredictable dangers of nature—especially as it echoes a deadly rockslide at Bow Glacier Falls just a year prior.
