Elbow River Valley Area
+ My Favorites
This park area is gateway to the mountains. Starting out in the low country, as one moves west, the altimeter climbs, eventually leading visitors to towering alpine peaks. Wildlife in the area include all the usual suspects: grizzly bears, ground squirrels, and bighorn sheep. There are hundred of kilometres of trails here to tempt even the most daring outdoorsman. Furthermore, for those that enjoy a day in muck, plenty of 4x4 trails are offered. Can your vehicle drive down the creek bed? Of course it can.
