For thousands of years, the wind has come roaring down the valley and has stripped the soil and nutrients away from Windy Point Ridge. The trees have twisted with the force of the wind and they cling to life in pockets of soil.

Walking amongst the ancient trees there is a special experience. It is quiet and clean and seemingly full of a natural energy. It’s a spiritual place, perhaps even a sacred place. Sunbeams filter through the branches and needles of the old trees like sunshine through the stained glass windows of churches. Warm, golden light that makes you feel special, just to be there.

A highlight of Whirlpool Point is found right on the bank of the river, an ancient limber pine that is one of the oldest trees in Alberta. The tree is estimated to be a thousand or more years old.
