Fullerton Loop is an easy hike that provides excellent views of the Elbow Valley and nearby foothills. The plan is to undertake this hike at a relaxed, but moderate pace. We will stop to catch our breath when needed and enjoy the views. You are welcome to bring your dog if they are used to hiking with a group and can respect other dogs / hiker's personal space.

We will be hiking the loop clockwise, therefore going UP the steep side and down the more moderate section. At this time, the whole trail is ice free, though there are still some muddy sections and occasional standing water. No icers are needed, but you may wish to bring gaiters.

Follow the Trans-Canada Highway (Hwy 1) to Highway 22, follow Highway 22 south through Bragg Creek, turning left at the 4-way stop. At the Highway 66 Junction, turn right and follow Highway 66. The parking area is on the right, across from the Allen Bill Day Use area - you'll see the signs after you cross the Elbow River bridge.
