If you’re expecting a downhill ripper, this ain’t it. This trail was fun for what it is, a cool trail that winds through alpine meadows and throws bits of rock and tech throughout. I enjoyed it
canman1045
This trail has some cool features but absolutely no thought was put into how to connect them. Instead it just takes the most direct route from when feature to the next and totally kills the flow, almost every turn is awkward. An okay climb if your only goal is to get to Grouse but I'll do the distance and use Flash of Gold every time.

I Agree this trail is an ok climb if Grouse is the goal. More efficient. As a descent it was poorly made. If we are lucky RCR will get involved and improve this trail
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
