Here are up-to-date maps for the West Bragg Creek Trails. They show the latest status for all the trails including those that will be completed this fall (Bobcat, Long Distance & Disconnect):
Kananaskis
The Prairie View – Camp Chief Hector – Jewell Pass double loop is one of my favourite weekend rides. It can be done on a weeknight, but you need to ride fast[er than me].
Starting from the Barrier Dam trailhead [off Hwy 40 – if you drove west past Nakiska, you went too far], ride along Barrier Lake and up the very wide Prairie View trail. This trail gets a LOT of hikers, so please be polite and don’t expect everyone to jump out of your way. You’ll pass under some power lines at the top of a short climb, but keep going up. You’ll climb a gravelly trail that leads to a 4-way intersection, which is where PV meets Stoney Trail. Go up! The PV trail is quite wide, allowing you to pass slower moving folks [or be passed yourself]. There are 9 switchbacks on PV, and at the 9th you have a choice between ducking off into the trees on your right to do the Camp Chief Hector descent, or continuing up and to the left to go over the top and on to Jewell Pass.

Just east of Canada Olympic Park, this area has surprisingly buff XC trail. Check it out before it gets turned into a mall.

Thanks to Shaun for reminding us to post a map for the West Bragg Creek trails. Click this link, or the attached file below to view/download the map. It covers the areas north and south of the West Bragg parking lot. It also shows which trail is off-limits to bikers and horses [Fullerton Loop].

Here’s a map of the Ridgeback trail in the Station Flats area of Kananaskis. The map has been updated to reflect some re-routes on the second section of the trail.
