No Travel Except By Foot
I composed this image of a portion of Alberta's Ghost River Wilderness Preserve while traveling Alberta's historic Forestry Trunk Road. This protected area encompasses the headwaters of the Ghost River spanning 153.2 square kilometers.
The wilderness area is defined by rugged peaks, valleys that have been carved out by glaciers, alpine and subalpine meadows, along with mountainous lakes throughout.
The wilderness area was established back in 1967 and is one of only three wilderness areas within Alberta, Canada. Being a wilderness area means that no travel is permitting within the region, except by foot. The Ghost River Wilderness Area borders Banff National Park as it stretches across the Rocky Mountains.
Due to the area being highly protected, there are many species of butterflies that are able to flourish. The area is also home to Bighorn sheep, moose, bear, deer, timberwolves, and even wild horses. The region is also well-known for its world-class ice climbing. Due to the protected nature of the region, there are minimal defined trails.
