Moose Packers (MTB Ride)

Big climb, great views, long descent: 3hrs/moderate/21km

Great loop ride within a network of trails beloved by after-work riders from Calgary (1hrs’ drive). Don’t underestimate the ride though; there’s hard work involved.

There are other options here too: for an easier ride stick to the south of the area, several shorter but reasonably technical trails head north from the lot, there is a good amount of signposting.

Start

Station Flats parking lot, 14km southwest of Bragg Creek on Hwy-22.

Directions

Ride is arguably best done clockwise, which allows you to veer off the trail and use a road for some of the climb. The descent starts at the top of the road and is reasonably well signposted; you can download a gpx file on this page (if you sign-up for free with everytrail.com).
