        30 4.5 1 mile 13 ft 111
        A glorious bit of sub alpine single track. Completely atypical of Penticton trails; dirt, loam, roots, moisture. A couple of old stunt from the bike park days at Apex but it is clear which ones are not ridable. When it doubt air it out....
        30 3.5 2 miles 11 ft 109
        A challenging find but fun ride down from the summit once you're on the trail which starts as a very deep rut going south from the summit. Rock face and alpine descent for a while. Then it changes to single track with berms in the...
        50 3.5 3,442 ft 0 ft 61
        Alternate entrance into The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. Perhaps a proper trail name exists, if you know, leave a comment and we can update. Sub alpine-esque trail. Rocks, roots, erosion.
        30 3.3 2 miles 151 ft 42
        A high elevation (not quite alpine) trail that starts in a cut block, cruises through a forest along side the lake and ends at a 4x4 accessed campsite.
