Where the Wild Horses Roam.

"Our first dry camping trip of the year was a huge success. Even though it rained every night while we slept, the daytime weather was beautiful. Another perk of being retired is getting to camp during the week, so we had the entire area to ourselves. Note: A Public Land Camping Pass is currently required in order to camp on Alberta Crown land.

"These three wild horses visited us at our favorite camping spot almost every day. You can even see our truck parked on the left!"

“WHOAS estimates there’s approximately 900 wild horses across Alberta with the majority of the wild horse population hanging out in and around the Sundre / west-central Alberta region. Literally, you can just drive west of Sundre and you’ll find wild horses in fields and grazing along the highways all over the place!”- Sundre.

The sounds of chattering chipmunks, sweet birdsong, and the rushing stream were incredibly calming. It was neat to find a path of stepping stones put in place by previous campers down to the stream.

Erik was in his element as usual.

The nearby gravel road sees plenty of logging and oil workers traffic during the week, but fortunately, our campsite is tucked far enough back that the noise and dust don't reach us.

Someone left a pair of adorable frog ornaments sitting right on top of a bracket fungus!

It was wonderful to see this rock painting still here, just as it was during our last visit.

Magic hour.

We added Fire Colour Changing Packets for Fire Pits to our fire.
