Dogs Leashed

Highway 66 west of Elbow Falls and the Powderface Creek Trail is closed to vehicles annually between December 1 and May 14. A Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required to park your vehicle in Kananaskis and the Bow Valley.

Description

One of the classic trails to the west of Bragg Creek before getting to Little Elbow. This trail can be taken from the south where Hwy 66 takes an "L" toward Little Elbow or from the north by first taking Powderface Creek Trail from Township Road 214A (a.k.a Powderface Trail/Road). This is a very popular area for birding, hiking, and horseback riding, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The best times to visit this trail are May through November. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.
