| GPS: 50d 52m 1.80s -114d 47m 1.98s |
| Map / Satellite Image: Google Link |
| Site Name: “Sweet Life” Riverside |
| Travel Directions: From Hwy 1 (Trans-Canada Hwy), take Exit 161A “Bragg Creek Rd / Hwy 22.” Go south on Hwy 22 approximately 17.4 km to the 4-way stop in Bragg Creek. (Do not follow the “Bragg Creek West” sign.) Turn left at the 4-way stop (continue on Hwy 22) and go 3.4 km to the “T” intersection of Hwy 22 and Hwy 66. Turn right (west) onto Hwy 66 and go approximately 18.4 km to the Elbow Falls Day Use Area in Bragg Creek Provincial Park. As you enter the parking area, the site is to the immediate right in the most upstream portion of the Area. Take the paved path on the right just after the guard rail, pass the gate, and turn right onto the narrower path. Stay to the right and walk to the river past the small picnic areas. The site is almost directly in front of the memorial bench. For pictures taken during a hike to this location, see “Hike to ‘Sweet Life’ Riverside” in the Albums link.

thankful prayer is a great spot to relax and ponder the
beauty of this place, or the details of any cow and calf
operations you may be contemplating. While you are here,
don’t miss the lovely Elbow Falls which is
downstream approximately 250 yds. The movie was filmed here in late June. Bear in mind that the Elbow is a dynamically changing river, one that is constantly re-sculpting its gravel shoals and banks throughout the year. The visibility of specific features (rocks, gravel bars, etc.) may depend greatly on the time of year that you are here. Trees and rock ledges may be your best indicators of the specific movie locations in this area. Quotation: |
