South Ghost River climbing closed in Banff National Park

Banff Park east boundary at the South Ghost River

Access

Heads up to anyone planning to climb in the South Ghost River area.

The place is closed from the Banff Park boundary, so that means the Grey Ghost Wall, Phantom Crag, Bonanza, Planters Valley etc. are all out for now until further notice.

An aggressive grizzly bear had an encounter with a hiker the other day and has been observed in this area.
