ENDURANCE LOOP: 15 km (mix of single and double track)
• This trail provides a variety of single track, technical trail features
and downhill sections. It is best ridden in a clockwise direction to
take advantage of the long downhill section from Odyssey.
• A section of the Endurance loop that is also accessed from the
Orange loop is called Odyssey. This is a fun section of trail that
has great flow with a lot of downhill.
• Access from the Daylodge, begin on Centennial ski trail
ORANGE LOOP: 7.5 km (mainly single track)
• The CNC’s most popular trail.
• Best ridden clockwise – a steady climb starts the trail, followed
by a descent through the meadow, some technical downhill
sections, then moderate elevation gain back to the Daylodge.
• Access: From the Daylodge, follow “flag row” to the paved
Banff Trail. Bike along the Banff Trail for approximately 40
metres until the orange trail marker on the left hand side

I've met groups as big as 8 people climbing this trail making absolutely no noise though the berms and blind turns, nice job cancelling a descent for someone as they wait for your huge group to pass.

- this comment was paid for by the pretentious dickwads at nordic center.
Cross country (have fun going uphill pussy)
Technical (our trails are the roughest you could imagine)
Full suspension (did we mention we have the worst terrain possible)
Long road to ruin should be entered from the south (autistic ferit or w.e the f*ck). The problem is it'll dump you in that f*cking corner where there isn't any fun way out and it's just f*cking pig work to get back. DO NOT ENTER THIS TRAIL FROM BLUE COAL CHUTES. Going north to south on this trail was the worst f*cking idea I've had yet.
