Rainy Creek Summit is about 25 minutes West of Bragg Creek Alberta on Highway 66. The winter gate at Elbow Falls is closed from December 1 to May 15 each winter. This allows the wildlife to move down into the Elbow River Valley to winter.
November 30, I went West to the summit for sunrise to take a few photos and a video.
There are 5 campgrounds along Highway 66 with Little Elbow just 2 miles West of the summit. One of the 5 is open all winter with electrical hook-ups. It is McLean Creek and is specifically set up for OHV camping. It is located in Kananaskis Country Provincial Park and there are 100's of miles of trails going back into the mountains.
Little Elbow campground has one loop specifically for horse camping. They have corrals and shelters for the horses and room for RV's and horse trailers. From there you can ride your horses on the many trails that go back in the mountains. There are lots of spots to set up camp along the trails.
