Bragg Creek: The Gateway to Kananaskis
Bragg Creek has been the Alberta gem just waiting to sparkle. Long recognized as “The Gateway to the Kananaskis”, Bragg Creek offers access to nature like no other community. Situated in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Bragg Creek is a 40-minute drive from Calgary, close to the junctions of Highways 8 and 22, and is a popular destination for short day trips. It’s a community of artists, ranchers, local businesses and commuters. The area attracts many visitors, from hikers and bikers to those seeking culture in the unique shops and restaurants. Bragg Creek is well known as the gateway to Kananaskis Country, and many choose to take a picnic lunch to nearby Elbow Falls or one of the other leisure areas off Highway 66.
