4 Degrees trail replaces the old Danzig trail destroyed by logging. With a constant 4 degree grade, this trail makes for an easier ride up to Old Coach Road than the 4WD (Slogger Logger).

      A good workout. Surface erosion of the clay surface over time has made the track variously rocky, rutted, boggy and slippery in places.

      Bench width, surface roughness, plus some sustained steep sections make it more like a grade 3. Not at all hard, but compared to the climb on the other side of the hill which is a genuine grade 2.

      Pleasant climb, mostly under bush cover, with the odd (very easy) rocky / techy bits to keep things mildly interesting. As the trail weathers and more rocks are exposed, it pushes the trail to the harder end of a green. Most riders will ride it with their eyes closed but kids or new riders may find some sections a bit tricky.

      Vastly preferable to the horrible slog up the 4x4 track.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
