    Tucked into the eastern slopes of Alberta’s Rockies, Elbow‑Sheep Wildland Provincial Park spans roughly 800 square kms of undeveloped wilderness in Kananaskis Country, making it one of the largest protected areas in the region. As a "Wildland Park" there is virtually no development leaving you to explore pristine high-alpine terrain, deep creek valleys, and ridges that frame vast vistas over the Sheep and Elbow River headwaters. With minimal signage, no paved roads, and very limited facilities, the area is designed for backcountry hikers, pack-rafters and mountain seekers ready to experience true remoteness and natural tranquility.
