That created some extra work for Department of Environment workers, along with a long and snowier-than-usual winter.
Helpfully, two weeks of spectacular spring weather helped reduce the snowpack just in time for the bulk of the work – although it’s likely the workers weren’t too happy to see the light snowfall last Thursday.
Scott Cameron, a parks information officer, said that day the snow did provide some challenges. Its continuing to linger in some campgrounds led to only 20 being in a condition to open.
“It was quite a challenge,” Cameron said.
The other 22 will come online in weeks to come as the weather improves.
