Moose Mountain Rd. is closed to vehicles December 1 - May 14 annually. A Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required to park your vehicle in Kananaskis and the Bow Valley.

Need to Know

Always carry bear spray! Keep an eye out for speedy MTBers in the warmer months of the year.

Description

Follow this out-and-back trail from the end of Moose Mountain Rd. along a wide old fire road. Most of the route is a fairly gentle grade until you reach the switchbacks up to Moose Mountain NE. The route by that point is quite exposed and fairly loose shale, so come prepared for the elements and loose footing! You'll be welcomed with great views of the plains to the east and a peek to the Rocky Mountain front to the west at the peak.

Flora & Fauna

Small mammals, birds, deer, mountain goats
