A great example of an old school DH trail.
Starts out technical then fast and flowy into Berms trail and then finishes up with Godey creek.
Includes some fairly committing steep rock sections at the top.

Access Info

Recommended as a shuttle only. From the old visitors center parking lot drive south on the Coquihalla to Comstock road, turn off onto Iron Mountain road and drive to the top (radio tower)

Many trees down, obvious that this trail doesn’t get much traffic. Bush is starting to take over in some spots

 Some sketchy rock chutes. Sone sections of the trail are extremely overgrown and poorly marked. Very easy to get lost when connecting to Berms.

      Section below access 2 is overgrown and really hard to follow. If coming up fox farm, save yourself the trouble and just start at berms

      There’s still fun portions of trail but flow was blown with 10-12 trees down. No down trees on blind corners or affecting steeps except the biggest rock line which is covered in deadfall

      Fairly committing steep rock, I would drop the fairly.
