Property Description
Bedrooms: 2. Bathrooms: 1
Welcome to Riverside Cabin, an icon of a bygone age. For over a
hundred years this cabin has watched the tumbling waters of the Ghost
River and the Waiparous Creek join together and rush past and around
this peninsular retreat that has 2000 ft of private river
frontage.
Waiparous is the native word for Cree Scalp
and this area was a retreat for the Sioux Nations after the first
contact with Europeans. The names of the rivers "Ghost" Dead Man
Flats and Devils Head Mountain reflect the early trials and deadly
nature of this high mountain terrain.
For those of you
who like to walk, the well marked scenic trails alongside the high
bluffs of the Waiparous Creek provide splendid views of the canyon
and tall hills, for which this area is famous. The trails begin at
the west side of the village, where you can simply park your car and
walk into another world.
You can picnic in the high
country by taking a short drive west, where you will overlook the
levees of the Ghost River facing the shear bluffs of Phantom Craig.
Looking towards the west you will see the lakes that lead to
Minnewanka, originally called Lake of Evil Waters, which can be
approached by walking past Dead Man Lakes, now called Chain
Lakes.
For the hardy of heart, the river and the creek
provide a great location for a quick dip, refreshing and invigorating.
For those who find the river a little too fresh, the creek is about
ten degrees warmer.
Canmore, a short thirty minute
drive away, provides terrific options for dinner and a great way to
spend the evening. Along the way, stop and see the MacDougal Church.
The area is filled with many things to do and see. The springtime
exhibits the first flower, the elusive Crocus. Later in the season
one will enjoy the beauty of the Brown Eyed Susan and the Fire Weed,
which mingle with the Tiger Lily, Blue Bell, Snow on the Mountain and
dozens more. Nature is generous in the high
country.
Enjoy Riverside Cabin and let the waters of
the river lull you to sleep.
