Moose Mountain

Moose Mountain is among the first true mountains west of Calgary, rising to 2,437 m on the eastern edge of Kananaskis Country about 19 km west of Bragg Creek. Its name, adopted in 1949, is usually traced to its outline on the horizon, which many see as a moose lying at rest. The summit's human story runs deeper. On 12 August 1858 Thomas Blakiston left the Palliser Expedition's camp and travelled southeast, and his journal is taken to describe a climb of this peak. When Alberta set up its fire-lookout network in 1929, Moose Mountain was an obvious choice; today's cabin, built in 1974, is the third on the site and keeps watch over more than 5,000 square kilometres of forest. Inside the southern flank lies a limestone ice cave with nearly 500 m of mapped passages, now closed to visitors.

Our solid hardwood cribbage boards are modeled with actual topographic data to capture any place on earth. Each board has a storage space for three sets of metal pegs behind a custom-etched stainless steel door. Boards measure roughly 350mm (13.5”) long by 190mm (7.5") wide by 90mm (3.5”) tall and are finished with tung oil for durability and a slight sheen. Additional options include a custom message or logo etched on the stainless steel door tag (32 characters max, +$10), and an engraved name, message or logo on the side or underside of the board (+$20 standard, +$40 with a contrasting filler). Side and underside engraving is sized to fit the board, typically no taller than 1 inch (25 mm). For a logo, send us a PNG through our contact form after you order, with your order number.

Our products are designed, crafted, and finished in Alberta, Canada.
