Itinerary:
The trail starts right off with steep switchbacks. But once at the summit, you’ll be rewarded with a fantastic view of Moose Mountain to the north, Calgary far to the east, the MacLean Creek area with its multitude of OHV trails to the south. The large entrance to Ice Cave on Moose Ridge is also visible when looking north towards the valley below. We will take the usual steep south route up Prairie Mountain and return via the less steep NW Prairie Creek route by following the ridge a short distance then dropping down on a marked trail west towards Prairie Creek. We will take brief rest stops on the way up as required.
