Stonehenge, Devils Head, Black Rock, Ghost River, the Summer Solstice....come out to this haunted place and enjoy some of Alberta's finest scenery along with a hot dog or two....
Near the boundry of Banff National park, located on the edge of the eastern slopes of the Rockies, is the the Ghost River Valley. It is here that we will praise the longest day of the year in 2020. The last kilometer of terrain to the event can be a little difficult in a clearance challenged vehicle, so if you need, park at the given parking coordinates and hitch a ride down into the Ghost Valley and to the event site. At the bottom, you will find a roaring bon-fire all in the name of the Summer Solstice!!!
Unfortunately, we will not be supplying hotdogs and condiments any longer as it is considered a high risk activity. You will need to bring your own food to roast over the fire, a beverage, snack foods if desired to share with your family unit, and of course your geocaching stories.....
Come to the Ghost and enjoy the longest day of the year!!!
Let us know in your "Will attend" log if you need a ride from the parking coordinates down to the Ghostly Event
Directions to the Parking:
