Continue to climb up onto the open and exposed Canadian Shield. Stairway to Heaven has technical rock gardens, exposed shield, and a fun descent back to the parking lot. A number of cutbacks allow you to double back towards the Connector Trail, if you want to continue to ride and not descend back to the lot. Follow the signs and the blazes when out on the exposed rock.
