  • Lost Knife trail is a well-known loop trail in the ghost valley of Central Alberta, YOU NEED TO DRIVE THIS TRAIL #blindmanoverland. With stunning vistas and towering pines, you won't regret it. It's not a difficult trail but does require some clearance if you don't want any damages, typically when the weather is normal there will be a lot more mud than you see here but other than that some good driving and a capable rig will get you in and out. On this trip, we spent some time with some old friends and some new ones. Unfortunately, the frontier is needing some much-needed maintenance and funds are tight to this time I opted to ride shotgun and capture the trip for everyone's enjoyment and I'm glad I did actually cause not only was this a fun trail to ride but it was a fun video to make, I hope you enjoy.

    Hello from BC, good vid, looks like a good group there. We just had our first short trip to your side of the Rockies, wandered through the Transalta Rd and the loop around Margaret Lake. Fun terrain, great scenery, quick different from where we live, with all the steep hill climbs etc. Good fun, we’ll be back again!

      @@BlindmanOverland is CA Canada? It can’t be that much more expensive than the UK… I’ve read food is more expensive there but we pay £250 a month for gas/electricity and £1.50-65 per litre of fuel… I’d rather pay a bit more and live somewhere I can actually live rather than just exist and pay tax👍🏼

    How difficult would you say this trail is? Many say it's beginner friendly...how does it compares to the trail from South Ghost Pluz entrance down to the Ghost valley?

    • @BlindmanOverland
      @BlindmanOverland  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There's some interesting switch backs, the trail from the ghost to the river valley is more of a road than a trail, this is very much more of a trail than a road, it's not too difficult can be done in most vehicles with good tires and a small boost in suspension depending on trail conditions. If the Trans Alta is a 1 lost knife would be a 4 or 5 out of 10

      Honestly online commities are no replacement for the real thing. My only recommendation would be to go out as often as you can and meet people doing the same thing, strike up a trail chat and exchange numbers, most people are always looking for folks to go with! :) good luck, if you ever see me out there some say hi!
