The Government of Alberta has entered a new phase of land use planning for Southern Alberta, including the Eastern Slopes of the Rocky Mountains. It appears they are proposing that the Ghost River Valley, with all of its world class ice and rock climbs, be designated a "primitive recreation" zone. This means that motorized access to ice and rock climbing staging areas and to random camping locations will NOT BE allowed. Many other ice, rock and mountain climbing areas along the Eastern Slopes will also be impacted |

There is limited parking at the Alpine Club of Canada's Clubhouse. Climbers heading to Echo Canyon above the ACC are asked to carpool. There is a day-use parking area 0.5 km west of the turn-off to Indian Flats road, a few metres past Elk Run Boulevard. Climbers are asked to use this area, and then to park their car on the Clubhouse access road pointing downhill across from the woodpile. Please help to preserve the parking access for this terrific climbing area! Climbers can also buy beer at the Clubhouse and enjoy it on the deck with one of the best views in Canmore.
