An enjoyable rolling forest singletrack that is now in great shape and rides well in both directions thanks to ongoing maintenance, improvements, and some re-routes.

 Trail needs to be remapped. The GPS track goes through a washed out section. But there is a ride around that I didn't notice until I had hiked...

      Trail must have been cleaned up & widened, ran w 780mm handlebars. great area for a rip.

      Better trail than the ratings + comments suggest. Where else can you find 2km of continuous single track green room in Calgary?? Rooty and twisty, never that fast. Mostly a connector trail, yes, but nevertheless worth riding if you can fit it into your outing. Connects you to some interesting steep riding in the Valley Ridge area and other various unmapped trails on the other side of Stoney.

      Rode it west to east, trail is definitely in disrepair and is overgrown to the point of walking 30% of the sections...the sections that are more open are decently fun and rideable but if your bars are wider than 740 or so mm you're going to be walking as much of this trail as you're going to be riding...the westernmost section is chill and fun but don't make this trail more than a connector or you will end up frustrated

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
