Trail Roots Resurrection

Use to love this trail when it was reborn, rode it a fair bit in 2019, I even helped on a dig night to fix it, but sadly no one rides it anymore and therefor has become overgrown and very loose dirt (from no traffic). Rode it today, sad to see. But great views still prevalent!

Lousy loop. You spend all you time going up what would be great down trails. The down trail at the end is not worth the effort. Why this is on the recommended routes I have no idea.

Trail Hyperextension

One of our favourites in Fernie - a nice long and interesting descent. Not overly technical but enough to stay engaged and have fun.

Bit of mud in the rooty upper section but otherwise great condition.
