Gardners trail in summer is a technical descent with steep sections and rock gardens. In winter, the trail is manageable for intermediate riders once it has been groomed.

This is the suggested route of the PRKR Fat Bike Poker Run but is also the easiest route for mountain bikers looking to reach the summit of the mountain. Rabbit Hole trail flows best west bound (clockwise when combined with Traversity) as shown in the loop, however it is also a pleasant experience east bound if riders do not wish to ride Traversity twice.
