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 16.1km west down HWY 66 to Moose Mountain Road on your first right past Station Flats. Take this dirt road to the the last corner before the end, where you'll find the Moose Mountain Summit parking lot on your right. 

Trail Description:

From the parking lot, bike a few meters back towards HWY 66 to gain the narrow road with an access gate. Follow this road as it descends for 80m and just over 1km to the Moose Packers junction. Stay left and follow the road as it begins the long 500m climb back up towards the summit. At 5.5km you'll leave the treeline and start climbing the switchbacks that lead to a wide alpine ridge top before the final summit push up the summit block. You can choose to leave your bike at the treeline or take it to 7.5km at which point bikes are prohibited. The summit offers an amazing 360 view of the surrounding area with picnic tables and an active forest fire watch tower.
