Understanding this MapAll trails are:• Open year-round for non-motorized use.
• Subject to two-way traffic flow. Expect to meet oncoming traffic.
• Characterized as primitive, meaning they are unsurfaced and may be very rough.
To aid navigation:Each numbered dot on this map corresponds to a numbered post on the ground. Numbered dots are used to indicate trail intersections, end of trails, staging areas and information kiosks.
The colours of the trails indicate the maximum width of a vehicle permitted on the trail. If the width of your vehicle is less than or equal to the maximum vehicle size indicated, you can use that trail. (Please see the legend for more details.)
• A solid line indicates a trail that is open year-round for vehicles of the designated size or smaller.
• Broken lines indicate a trail that is open only during specific times of the year.
• Snowflakes on a solid line indicate a year-round trail for a smaller vehicle can be used by larger vehicles (size designated by colour) in the winter only. See legend for the timing for each trail.
The end of a trail on the map means that motorized access terminates at that point.
Current information is provided at kiosks, indicated by symbols on the map.

What is a Public Land Use Zone?A Public Land Use Zone (PLUZ) is an area of land to which legislative controls are applied under the authority of the Public Lands Act and Public
Land Administration Regulation.
A PLUZ is created specifically for that land base and the conditions that exist within it.
Note: Trail access may be amended, modified or closed by an officer in response to fires, fire hazard, flooding, wildlife or other environmental and safety concerns. Please ensure you have the current information on the area to which you are travelling and obey all posted signs and notices.
Public Land Use Zone SignsFollow directions on signs as posted.

Camp ResponsiblyVisitors to the Ghost PLUZ are strongly encouraged to camp in the facilities provided in Provincial Recreation Areas (PRA).
These areas have been engineered to reduce environmental impact to fish and wildlife habitat, vegetation, soil and water quality that may be caused by intensive use.
Ride Responsibly• Obey signs and observe the rules of the PLUZ.
• Motorized use is limited to the designated trails shown on the map on the other side of the brochure. See Designated Trails and Roads in the Ghost PLUZ for more information.
• Wheeled or tracked vehicles are not allowed on beds or shores of watercourses, wetlands or waterbodies.
• You may only cross streams at bridges or lawful crossings. Crossing a stream anywhere other than a bridge or established ford is not permitted.
• Do not wash your vehicle in a watercourse, wetland or waterbody.
• Slow down. Adjust your speed of travel according to trail conditions to ensure the safety of all users.
• Be courteous to other users and respect the limitations of their activities.
• When meeting equestrian users, pull off to the side of the trail, shut off your engine, and remove your helmet. Wait until the horse(s) and rider(s) have passed before restarting your engine.
• When meeting hikers and mountain bikers, slow down and be courteous while passing.
• When meeting dog sleds, pull off to the side of the trail and let the dog team pass.
• If you encounter a locked gate, do not proceed beyond it. Access may be prohibited for reasons relating to wildlife and other natural resource management, topography, private property, or human health and safety. Travel is permitted beyond cattle guards and wire gates on the designated trail system. In lieu of posted instructions, please leave the gate (open or closed) as you found it.
Know Before You GoIt is your responsibility to become familiar with the activities allowed in this area before you visit. Visitors who do not follow the rules could be fined or charged under provincial legislation. For more information, look for area kiosksor visit: aep.alberta.ca
To learn more about Public Land Use Zones or recreational access to agricultural public land visit aep.alberta.ca and click on Recreation & Public Use.
Volunteer Efforts In The Ghost PLUZ
Ghost Stewardship Monitoring Group
In 2006, a wide range of recreational, commercial and industrial users of the Ghost PLUZ volunteered to serve as members of the Ghost Stewardship Monitoring Group (GSMG.) The group works with government to resolve access-related issues, deliver stewardship messaging, and plan future trail development. Thanks to the efforts of the GSMG and its affiliated volunteers, a thorough inventory of trails in the area is in process and sustainable criteria have been established. To learn more about GSMG contact AEP in Calgary.
Avoiding Wildlife Encounters
• Set up camp sites in open areas away from game trails, berry bushes, clover patches, streams and lakeshores.
• Make noise to warn wildlife of your approach when walking or horseback riding near water bodies and dense shrubbery.
• If you see a bear or see or smell an animal carcass, leave the area immediately.
• Keep your pet on a leash at all times.
• Carry bear spray and know how to use it.
• Bears have an amazing sense of smell and can find buried food. Plan ahead to reduce scent attractants.
• Use odour-proof containers to store anything that may attract a bear, including toiletries and pet food.
• Never take these items into your sleeping area and do not sleep in clothes you wore while cooking.
• Store food, cooking equipment, garbage, toiletries and other scented items in your vehicle or high in a tree, at least 100 metres (330 feet) from your camp.
• Cook food and dispose of dishwater a safe distance from your camp.
• Use dried food and portable camp stoves whenever possible.
• Never partially burn or bury food scraps.
• Pack out all of your garbage in sealed bags.
All wild animals are unpredictable and can be dangerous—never feed or approach wildlife.
For more information on living with bears and other wildlife, visit aep.alberta.ca

Best Practises for Random CampingTo reduce the impact of camping outside of campgrounds, ensure your site remains in a clean and tidy condition.
• Pack out all garbage.
• Choose camping areas that minimize damage to vegetation.
• Use existing vehicle tracks and choose routes with most durable surface.
• Camp at least 30 metres (100 feet) from water.
• Do not cut or remove live trees or vegetation.
• Use weed-free feed for horses.
• Use existing fire pits and dismantle rock rings before you leave the site.
• Never leave your campfire unattended.
• Extinguish your campfire by soaking it with water, stirring the ashes, and soaking again.
• Fill all toilets, fire pits and waste-water pits with soil, and level before you leave the site.
• Limit your stay to a maximum of 14 days.
• For your safety, camp at least 100 metres away from an oil and gas wellsite or facility.

Camping Nodes
Look for the sign! .
Camping Node Sign
.
This sign designates areas that are approved for random camping activity.
Camping Nodes have been established along the Stud Creek Road from the entrance to the PLUZ for the next 16 km. Random Camping is only allowed in the designated nodes in this area of the PLUZ.
Camping Nodes are intended to reduce recreational pressure on the surrounding landscape and help visitors avoid accidental contact with sour gas facilities in the area.
See insert on map side of brochure for the camping node (Burnt Timber Gas Plant) area.
PublicLand UseZone
The Ghost Public Land Use Zone (PLUZ) includes more than 1,500 km2 (150,000 hectares) of public lands east of Banff National Park and Don Getty Wildland Provincial Park. It is managed to protect the environment while allowing responsible and sustainable use of the land. In addition to recreation, this multiple use area includes forest-ry, agriculture, and oil and gas activities.
It is your responsibility to become familiar with activities allowed in this area before you visit. Please refer to the map and charts in this pamphlet for further details.
Important Changes In The 2016 EditionNew: Alberta Environment and Parks is leading the restoration and reconstruction of priority backcountry trails on public lands impacted by the 2013 flood.
The Backcountry Trail Flood Rehabilitation (BTFR) Program aims to restore trails for both motorized and non-motorized users. For your safety and the safety of trail workers, please be aware of construction projects on trails and avoid temporary closure areas. Closures will be posted at trailheads and on the BTFR Program Web Map. Trails that have been rerouted will have signage posted at the start and end of the reroute indicating changes.
For updated information on flood rehabilitation projects, closures and reroutes please visit the AEP website at: backcountryflood.alberta.ca
