True XC riding. Lots of bedrock and interesting technical features. Don't ride when wet. Many view points (Egg Rock, Grand Canyon, Cave Hill, and Behemoth).
To climb up this trail, start at the Skaha Bluffs PP north parking lot, and ride Canoe trail all the way to it's furthest southern point, and which point you'll be making a left on top Climax. Look at the map carefully to find all the up-hill connectors. Max effort and focus required to get up this clean Enjoy the challenge.
***As this trail goes through the park, dogs are not allowed.

Lost the trail about two thirds in. Backtracked and still couldn't find it. Ended up on a gas line road.

Didn’t really enjoy this other than getting to see some of Skaha’s outer reaches. It has some good moments but a lot of what seems like hiking trail
Spyrus
I'm pretty sure the intent of the trail is to tour around the area. The descents are short, quick, and mostly uneventful, and the climbs are prevalent, ongoing and technical. Even when trying to avoid it I had tons of pedal strikes. I can honestly say I was getting frustrated with how it felt like non stop climbing.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
