Hiking, Skiing and Snowshoeing

The Mustang Hills is the group of three hills located ENE of Rainy Summit between Hwy. 66 and the Elbow River.

I had not hiked up the access road before and it’s been years since I’d even driven the road. So, I was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable it was. At this time of year, the road is in the sunshine almost the whole way. And the views along the way were pretty impressive.
