Moose Mountain stands at an elevation of 2,437 meters (7,995 feet) and is situated 19 kilometers (12 miles) west of Bragg Creek, Alberta, within Kananaskis Country. This peak is a favored hiking spot, particularly among residents of Calgary, due to the well-maintained trail leading to its summit. On weekends during the summer months, it is not unusual for a dozen or more hikers to reach the top. The mountain, which resembles a resting moose on the skyline, was named Moose Mountain in 1949. At the summit, there is a Forestry Service fire lookout, which is the third structure to serve this function since the first was established in 1929.
