LAKE LOUISE — Rescuers in Alberta are set to resume their search today after a massive rockfall killed one and injured three in Banff National Park.
In a statement, Parks Canada said the search will include aircraft using infrared technology.
Also, a geotechnical engineer has been brought in to check the stability of the mountainside where the rockfall occurred.
The slide occurred in the early afternoon Thursday at Bow Glacier Falls on a popular hiking trail.
Video posted online appears to show a large shelf of stone crashing down a mountainside as hikers scurry to safety.
The area remains closed while the nearby Icefields Parkway that snakes through the national park is open intermittently to traffic.
