Start at the end of the Kettle Valley Road. Yellow Gate. Note tunnels must be open for full loop to be in use. Have a light for the tunnels.

Great loop, nice slow climb up through Othello Tunnels. Get to the Gorilla trail after a small road ride after the tunnels. Then start your hike up to the top of Gorilla. Some hiking required to reach top of downhill. Beautiful view from the top! Gorilla has some more advanced features. Riders beware and know your skill level.
