About this site
SourceAkamina-Kishinena Provincial Park occupies the province's far southeast corner, where together with Waterton Lakes and Glacier national parks it protects the narrowest point of the Rocky Mountains. High open ridges, deep valleys and windswept passes connect habitat for the last self-sustaining grizzly population in the United States, and goats and bighorn sheep winter on the exposed ridges.
This is wilderness camping along trails and passes that people have travelled for a very long time, moving between the Flathead Basin and the plains. Expect pit toilets and fire pits, hiking, biking and fishing, and nothing resembling a hookup. Ashman Lake sits about 2 km off.
The logistics are serious: the nearest listed community is about 65 km and fuel about 74 km. Treat it as an expedition.
