Whitehorse Wildland Provincial Park

Whitehorse Wildland Provincial Park is a protected mountain and foothill landscape in west-central Alberta, established in 1998 and slightly resized in 2002. Named for Whitehorse Creek, it protects that creek’s watershed, a varied stretch of the front ranges, and part of the Cardinal Divide, which links drainage flowing toward major river systems and two of Canada’s great basins. The park includes substantial elevation changes, subarctic continental climate, and notable wildlife such as bighorn sheep, elk, moose, grizzly bears, wolves, cougars, and harlequin ducks. Managed as a backcountry-focused protected area, it supports trail-based recreation, backcountry camping, and licensed hunting.
