Where Adventure Begins
Activities
Snowmobiling
The West Country
is open to snowmobiles and the area usually has an abundance
of snow.
Snowmobiling in the Clearwater area will accommodate every
family member, from the beginners, to intermediate, to the
advanced on all types of terrain.
Snowmobilers should be aware of the rules in the west country
as there are some restrictions for use in the area.
There are four major mustering areas that are recommended:
Chambers creek, the Nordegg trail system, Mount Baldy and
the Bighorn Backcountry.
One can snowmobile on cut lines, pipelines, power lines, old
railroads, old roads, run rivers and old historic trails.
While playing in the snow covered meadows, alpine valleys
and mountain slope, one can watch all kinds of wildlife along
the trails. At this point you better have your camera with
you, for there will be a photo opportunity on every turn.
There are signed and unsigned trails in the west country and
they are managed by the Rocky Mountain Sledders Club and the
Caroline Club. Both clubs have members that will guide groups
on these wonderful trails.
A snowmobile adventure can be one hour, to many days with
winter camping or staying in the many fine accommodations
in Rocky Mountain House and other area communities.
Rocky Mountain House is in the heart of Clearwater County
and is a snomobiler's playground. This is truly "Where
your snowmobiling adventure begins".
