Maligne Lake Road will be closed starting at Maligne Canyon at 1 p.m. on Wednesday due to the increased risk of avalanches.
The day-use area at Maligne Canyon and Maligne Hostel will remain accessible.
A spring storm has brought 25 centimetres of snow to the Maligne Lake area of Jasper National Park.
Parks Canada says it expects an additional 20 to 25 centimetres through the evening.
Motorists are asked to monitor 511.Alberta.ca frequently as closure and reopening times are based on actual conditions.
Parks Canada added that breaking gates or intruding into avalanche control areas is unsafe and illegal.
In addition, backcountry users should be aware that avalanche hazards will increase in the afternoon as daytime warming weakens the upper snowpack.
Parks Canada reminds these users to pay attention to how quickly the day is warming up and to changing snow conditions on sunny aspects.
Check avalanche.ca for updated conditions.
