Parks Canada has closed the area locally known as Jimmy Junior Bowl which is located on the west side of the Banff Jasper Highway just north of Bow Lake. The closure has been put in place because of a grizzly bear hibernating in the area.

Please go to the links below for more information, including a map of the closed region.
