Ghost River Valley
The run
Trail report
Ghost River Valley is a premier area for overlanding and off-roading just west of the foothills. It offers extensive gravel tracks across the floodplain with the dramatic backdrop of the Rockies.
The trail involves multiple river crossings which change depth depending on the season, spring runoff, and recent rainfall. A high-clearance 4x4 is highly recommended.
It provides true backcountry exploration with plenty of stunning, dispersed spots to set up camp and film the surrounding wilderness.
