Please note the winter seasonal access in the Ghost River area has ended. There is no vehicular access allowed past Junction 39. It is our understanding that Sustainable Resource Officers will be in the area and will ticket people who violate the closure.

Maps of the designated trails that are open for travel are available at the kiosk's, or are availble for download to your GPS device at:

We encourage climbers to respect the closure, because in the long run it fascillitates access to the area.

The season is changing, ice season is coming, and CASA has been continuing to work working on access issues via the Recreational Site Agreement that CASA signed with Alberta Government and the Ghost Stewardship Management Group. Ice climbers will be happy that the track into the North Ghost right to the Ghost Wilderness Boundary will available for motorized use for the foreseeable future now that it is part of the official Ghost Motorized Track and Trail System. Alberta Government regulations stipulate that the track is open from December 1st to March 31st and it is necessary to stay on the designated trail while traveling and to park in the designated staging areas while climbing. For information on the designated trail and staging areas, see this link to the SRD website:
