Trail Georgetown Climb
This is short and painful, but it's way better than Long Road to Ruin, which is long and painful.

Trail Blue Coal Chutes
Long road to ruin, is literally a long road to ruin. You will be ruined. But you will also be ruined on Georgetown, only that's a much shorter road to ruin. Personally, I think Georgetown is the way to go. Neither way is pleasant

Trail Blue Coal Chutes
Long Road to Ruin is a great climb out of the valley after you have descended Odessa or Coal Chutes. Ignore anything “Bre-Dude” has posted, as he clearly hasn’t a clue.

Trail Blue Coal Chutes
Blue coal chutes IS fun. Don't f*cking exit to long road to ruin. Don't listen to anyone saying long road to ruin is both ways...that trail going in THAT direction is f-u-c-k-i-n-g horrid. I'm convinced the only sane way out of this area is georgetown interpretive.

Trail The Odyssey
The first 500 meters would be great if you weren't going up it. Otherwise, odyssey is one of the better runs.

Trail The Odyssey
Fun, flowy, well-built with some great views. Potential to get over-excited and pick up a bit too much speed for the height of some berms, but a few runs should take care of that. Do recommend!

Trail Laundry Chutes
Short but sweet, couple of tricky drops but nothing you don't see coming and can't walk around. One of my favourites!

Trail The Odyssey
What happened to the extension that went to the lower junction with No Homers??

Trail The Odyssey
Super buff and awesome flow. Closest thing to a Rossland or PG trail around. Thanks, trail builders!

Trail The Odyssey
Great trail, great flow and many fun surprises along the way. Like a little stump-jump and the drops at the end. Great extension now to make a longer loop.

That was done by the volunteers of Canmore Trail Alliance. We were there several times and I was impressed of the results :-)))
