This ride starts at Bragg Creek Provincial Park which west of the town on highway 758.  A Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required to park in this area. We will ride out to Highway 66 and onward to Forget-Me-Not Pond. The section of the highway past Elbow Falls is closed to motorized vehicles but be aware of the horse pucks on the road.

We will regroup at key milestones. No one will be left behind. We will stop at the Forget-me-Not Pond day use area to soak in the scenery of the pond and to enjoy our packed lunches.

At Bragg Creek Prov Park there are parking spots, washrooms, grass and picnic tables here for our enjoyment and relaxation after the ride. A tailgate party is planned for afterwards so bring a lawn chair and refreshment!
