A peaceful day at Banff National Park turned tragic when a sudden rockslide struck near Bow Glacier Falls, a popular hiking destination. Without warning, debris cascaded down the mountainside, killing at least one visitor and leaving others shaken and stranded. Emergency crews, including helicopters, rushed to the scene as authorities closed the trail for safety assessments. Officials believe natural erosion and heavy rainfall may have contributed to the collapse. While identities have not been released, the incident underscores the unpredictable power of nature, even on well-known trails. Parks Canada urges visitors to remain cautious, prepared, and respectful of alpine risks.
