Headed to the mountains? You may have to switch up your plans.

Grotto Mountain Day Use Area, Grotto Pond and Grotto Creek Canyon Trail will be temporarily closed to the public and the reason shouldn’t come as a surprise!

According to Alberta Parks, the area will be restricted to licensed guiding operators due to an “active film production” from Thursday, March 21st to the 24th, 2024.

A stunning destination beloved by hikers and bikers alike, Grotto Mountain and Creek are 12 minutes from Canmore which has been featured in a number of projects including Interstellar, The Revenant, Everwood, and more recently The Last Of Us.
