    Pre-ride check your bike & yourself. The weather in the mountains can change rapidly. Wear and bring appropriate clothing, footwear, and be prepared for unpredictable weather changes. Carry drinking water and snacks. Tell someone where you’re going and when you’ll be back.

    Pack out what you pack in! You are riding in a provincial park so please, respect the area by not littering.

    Avoid wildlife conflicts. Know which animals are in the area and how to react if you cross their path. If you encounter a wild animal, for your safety, do not attempt to feed or approach any wildlife. Stay calm and please keep a respectful distance.
