Powderface Ridge is west of Bragg Creek, in the transition zone between the high mountains and the foothills. It offers far-reaching views from many points, spectacular geology and beautiful alpine wildflowers in some places.

This an intermediate day hike suitable for hikers who are comfortable on steep trails and have a reasonable level of fitness.

The trail climbs the south east side of the ridge and then follows the ridgeline, granting uninterrupted views of both the prairies and the high mountains. We will be able to make it a one-way trip by leaving a couple of cars at the destination in order to bring everyone back to the starting place.

Required Equipment

Inclement weather is always a possibility, in addition the ridge can be extremely windy. Be prepared with lots of layers.
We will walk along the ridge for about 2 kilometres. This part of the route is over rocks and there is little or no trail. We will adopt a slower pace for this section.

Be sure to bring:

Hiking boots with ankle support suitable for steep trails
Rain gear
Backpack
Water and food for the day
Hiking poles can be useful
