Ghost Area Campgrounds
A jaw dropping amphitheater of smooth cliffs provides countless rock and ice climbing opportunities. Large multi-pitch routes and unique ice climbs encompass the area. Several hiking trails will let you get up on top of the amphitheater without a rope and there is some limited mountainbiking as well as OHV trails. This magical area is steeped in first nations history and you can easily drift back in time, reading some of the many tales about the great battles that were fought.
If you plan on having a fire, please check Alberta Fire Bans, to see if there are any restrictions first.

Continue North on HWY 40 for another 200m to a dirt road on your left. Cross a cattle guard gate and pass a sign board on your right. Continue for another 16km sticking to the main road, until you come to the "Big Hill". This hill is loose, so unless you have a four wheel drive or you want to chance not getting back up, this is the end of the road. |
