A way to tie in most of the best trails on Paskapoo Slopes in under an hour. Recommended to follow the direction shown on the trails, as some are a lot more fun to descend than climb.

That is pretty much my usual Paskapoo ride, other than coming and going via the Backdoor, as I ride over via Bowmont. Often for a bit extra I turn left at Ridge Run-SFD junction and then do a "down Hawkeye -Turtle Soup, up Mr. T" loop and/or a climb up Jungle combined with a descent on one of the "unmapped" trails.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
