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 Moose Mountain summit parking lot, bike a few meters back towards HWY 66 to gain a 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 7.5km bikes are prohibited. Scramble to the summit before turning around and point it back down to the Moose Packer's trail head. Start the adrenaline descent down the Moose Packers single track before exiting at the top of Rideback. Ridgeback continues the descent through tight pine trees dispersed with the odd meadow and poplar patch. A few short climbs keep the quality descent going right to the Station Flats parking lot. Exit the parking lot and ride the road a short distance to Allan Bill Parking lot. The start of Elbow trail is on the opposite side of the highway from Allan Bill Parking and parallels the highway to the east. Snagmore takes off to the right after a short climb along Elbow Trail. Continue climbing alongside the Elbow River and over the ridge before dropping down into the Iron Creek Valley. Climb back up on Boundary Ridge trail to the final descent down to West Bragg Creek Parking.
