Trailhead: Little Elbow Campground

Getting There:

Heading south on the 22 from Bragg Creek, turn right (West) onto Highway 66. Turn into the campground. Park at the last trailhead parking area. There is a bridge over the Elbow river here.

Additional Info:
I am not sure whether to call this an attempt or to call it complete. It was so cloudy up there that we would hit a high point on the ridge and were unsure whether there was more to go. Since the entire ridge up to Forgetmenot Mountain would add +10k to our hike, we decided that the view would be the same no matter where we were - clouds.
So, I will definitely be back to do this hike and see the views that we missed out on!

Note: Highway 66 is closed annually from Elbow falls to Little Elbow Campground from December 1 to May 14.

Me wading through Little Elbow.. We were reluctant to do this on a chilly, wet day.
