Trail Sooper Trooper
Would rate this closer to black than blue. Too many rocks and roots for my liking. Also have found there is a lack of trail markings/signs in general on the York Lake trail system compared to Fernie trails.

Left my Ray Ban Aviator sunglasses at the top this afternoon. Please call 403 589-2970 if you find them. Thanks.

Trail Big Bear Down
Awesome. Not sure why its Red. There are a few sections that require thought and maybe a quick walk down. All rideable for advanced riders.
Do it. Views are great at the top.

I'm happy it's a Black since I probably wouldn't have ridden it if it were Red.
