Drive south on Macleod Trail & exit out of town on 22X westbound (Marquis of Lorne). If you drive by Spruce Meadows, you'll know that you're heading in the right direction. Highway 22X turns into 22 - keep going westbound until you reach intersection 762. Turn south on 762 (left) for approximately 15 km or so, and finally 3 km east on Plummer's Road til you reach Brown Lowery Provincial Park. We'll meet in the parking lot of the park. (FYI, 762 intersection is past Priddis going toward Elbow Falls, Hwy 762 intersection is just before Hwy 22 turns north toward Bragg Creek).
