About the club

Built in Bragg Creek, driven along Highway 22

The Cowboy Trail Car Club is a community car club based in Bragg Creek, Alberta. Our name comes from the Cowboy Trail, the stretch of Highway 22 that runs along the eastern slopes of the Rockies through ranch country and foothills towns.

We're a friendly mix of classic owners, weekend wrenchers, truck people, bike people and anyone with a project in the garage. You don't need a show-winning car to join. You just need to enjoy talking cars and spending time with good people.

What we do

Annual Show & Shine at the Bragg Creek Community Centre during Bragg Creek Days.
Cruises and meetups through the driving season, announced on Facebook.
Community support. We work alongside local businesses, volunteers and the Bragg Creek Community Association.

Thank you

Our shows happen because of generous local sponsors and the volunteers who give their time and energy. Your support lets us welcome drivers, families and visitors from near and far, and helps keep car culture alive and thriving in Bragg Creek.
