To Get Here: From the 4 way stop on HWY 22 next to Bragg Creek, take HWY 22 south to a T intersection. Turn right (westbound) on HWY 66. Travel 11.0 km west down HWY 66 to Station Flats. Station Flats is located on the right hand side of the road past the Elbow River bridge and Allan Bill Pond Parking.
Trail Description:
Find the trail entrance at the SW corner of the parking lot. The route can be done both ways but for the more moderate climb with a steep descent, run counter-clockwise. At the first branch turn right and start a moderate climb towards the Ridgeback/Tom Snow junction. At the junction turn left and continue the steady climb. At the peak of the climb, you'll see a trail junction on your left. Follow this for a short distance to a lookout with a bench to rest your legs for the descent. Enjoy a quick descent back down to the Elbow Valley Junction Trail followed by a flat windy trail through an open meadow and old stand forest back to the parking lot.
