Willmore Wilderness Park

In the Rocky Mountains of central Alberta lies a beautiful wilderness beckoning to those who seek an escape to pristine forests and mountain vistas. With no roads to dent its interior, Willmore Wilderness Park offers up its wonders only to those who care to venture in by foot or on horseback. Choose from horse pack trips, like those with Great Canadian Adventure where you pick the number of days to trail ride.

Mountain streams offer another attraction to this wilderness, and that's the great fishing opportunities for the sport angler. And spring is the time for viewing some beautiful displays of mountain wildflowers, while most any time of year is great for hiking into the wilderness to observe the area's diverse wildlife.

For current information on Willmore Wilderness, contact the Grande Cache Tourism and Interpretive Centre (888)827-3790. And if you're planning an Alberta backcountry adventure, be sure to request a copy of the Backcountry Visitors' Guide from the Environment Canada, Parks Service, at this address.
