The Bee-Line DH trail was retrofitted for mountain bikes in 2020. This steep descent is equipped with a re-benched trail tread, plenty of berms, drops, and two TTFs. Enjoy

When combined with the Bee-Line Climb and Upper Tapeworm, the DH completes a demanding 4.5 km loop from the Chief Isadore Trail.

      Great DH trail, best in the Cranny forest. Needs a better climb up though.

      Super fun. The up trail is WAY harder than the down. A moderate black at its worst.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
