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: Armed with only a few clues, Bob Sohomuch found this Edenic spot in July 2009.
