I cleared about 8 trees but one big tree in the last steep shoot, near the bottom will need a chainsaw.

      Lovely trail. Love the jank and a couple of rowdy lines.

      Super challenging to ride on a hard tail with a 2 year old on a shotgun seat. Much easier and more fun on an enduro bike. One of the best “natural” trails around. Great technical sections. Such a fun trail.

      Trails on this side of the mountain were not enjoyable. Did jolly rancher and baggins. Have not had a ride in the Fraser valley that I enjoyed less in my 6-7 years of ridding. Note that I am more of a decent focused rider. Unless you are riding purely for exercise avoid these trails.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
