Willmore Wilderness Park

　　    Willmore Wilderness Park is situated to the north of the famous Jasper National Park, between the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, and can be accessed via Highway 40 through the town of Grande Cache.

　　    Covering an area of 4,600 square kilometers, Willmore Wilderness Park boasts a more pristine natural environment and is slightly less well-known than its neighboring Jasper and Banff National Parks. The park has no roads, bridges, or buildings, though there are a few forest service cabins to accommodate travelers. The landscape is entirely untouched, featuring majestic mountains, blooming wildflowers, gurgling streams, and emerald lakes. Outdoor activities such as hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing are permitted, but motorized vehicles are strictly prohibited.

　　    The park is home to a rich diversity of wildlife, including wolves, caribou, elk, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, mule deer, marmots, and black bears. Unlike in Jasper and Banff National Parks, the bears here are more shy and rarely come into contact with humans.
