A short trail with a brief, punchy climb when riding west to east. Provides a singletrack connection between Front Side Connector and Kathleen Lake Get-Back, running along the back side of "Foundation Hill". Allows the boring doubletrack of Kathleen Lake Access to be avoided.

Access Info

Runs between Front Side Connector, just south of its north trailhead, and Kathleen Lake Get-Back.
