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 right. Take this dirt road to the the last corner before the end, where you'll find the Moose Mountain parking lot on your right.
Trail Description:
From the parking lot, hike a few meters back towards HWY 66 to gain the wide path with an access gate. Follow this path 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 7km you'll get a brief relief as you stroll down an alpine ridge top before the final summit push up the summit block. The summit is complete with picnic tables and an active fire lookout station.
