Travel Directions: The Moose Mountain summit is 7.1 km from
the parking area and trailhead, gaining 477 m (1,565') in
elevation. Allowing time to explore filming locations,
budget a total of 4 to 5 hours for a rewarding hike to
and from the vast Moose Mountain meadows, where several
sheep herding scenes were filmed. Mornings generally
provide the most reliable weather conditions. See: http://www.braggcreek.ca/kananaskis/trails/moosemtn.htm http://www.braggcreek.ca/kananaskis/trails/moose_prairie.htm http://www.braggcreek.ca/kananaskis/outdoor.htm The hike to the meadows is a moderately
strenuous ascent. Though no filming took place above the
meadows, the adventurous may wish to keep climbing to the
summit using a series of switchbacks leading to a fire
lookout station. Budget approximately 50 minutes for the
final ascent, along slippery shale surfaces. Remarks: Important: http://srd.alberta.ca/RecreationPublicUse/AlbertaBearSmart/BearsOutdoorRecreation.aspx Always consult park wardens and take appropriate precautions. |
