Moose Mountain is a 24370NaN0 mountain located 19km (12miles) west of Bragg Creek, Alberta in Kananaskis Country.
The peak is a popular hiking and Mountain bikingdestination for many (especially Calgary locals) since there is a well maintained trail that makes its way to the summit, and 27 of the most popular bike trails in Alberta. During summer month weekends, it is common for a dozen or more people to reach the summit.
Resembling a resting moose on the horizon, the peak was named Moose Mountain in 1949. A Forestry Service fire lookout exists upon the summit, the third building to have occupied the site for this purpose since the first was built in 1929.
Some scenes in the films Land and Brokeback Mountain were shot on and around Moose Mountain. Scenes in the first season of the television series Tin Star were also shot on Moose Mountain.[3]
There are two annual trail running events that go up Moose Mountain: Moose Mountain Trail Races (16 km, 29 km, and 42 km distances), and Iron Legs Mountain Races (60 km, 50 miles, and 100 km distances).
