Winter Deartures:
We run this trip regularly in the spring, summer and fall, but winter departures may be subject to availability and winter driving conditions. The ghost Wilderness area is a remote unserviced, and unmaintained area. This greatly adds to the adventurous nature of the experience but can also make access in the winter as a result of snow drifts, and river ice shelfs more hazardous. We do not offer regular departures over the winter months but please feel free to contact us by phone or email and we may be able to accommodate your request if the conditions are good.
What Should Participants Bring:
- Warm outdoor cloths suitable to variable outdoor conditions
- A good pair of outdoor walking or hiking shoes for possible short hikes or walks
- Camera
- Binoculars (optional)
What Will The Day Look Like:
From Banff or Canmore it is an approximate 1 - 1.5 hour drive to the starting location for our 4x4 Ghost adventure where a rough 4x4 road will take you to the remote north eastern edge of Banff National Park. We plan many stops for pictures, and to take in the countless views along the way. Prior to having lunch we head up the North Ghost Valley and towards the Devils Gap. A short walk or hike allow for additional views of some of the most spectacular waterfalls of the area. After lunch we return to Banff or Canmore.
