A Kimberley classic. This route takes you on the original Magic line route which was also one of the first mountain bike specific trails at the Nordic Center. Three climbs and three descents will leave you smiling, no mater what kind of rider you are. The listed route here utilizes the new Watts Up climb instead of the original Misdirection climb. A must do if you're in Kimberley.

This loop must be done in a clockwise direction. DO NO RIDE OR HIKE UP ANY OF THE DOWNHILL TRAILS.
