Aloha was built as a climbing trail specifically for the BC Bike Race but it can be ridden in either direction. It is named in honour of Jim and Sue from Oahu who helped build this local favourite. After passing above Kelly Falls (opposite of Farside and Wisdom Trail) Aloha features the now iconic hand-built arched cedar bridge and a spectacular view of Kelly Falls.

Prepare for a climb up along with an elevated heart rate to access green road to make your way along to the top of Death Rattle where the fun continues

      Rode it from Farside to wisdom trail and then up Aloha. Enjoyable climb with a couple whimsical features!

      We built it as a climbing trail but it is okay to go down.

      A must ride for this area! Super smooth and flowy with some technical. Ride in the downhill direction.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
