Conquer can be used to access Colpitt Lake, and as a chunkier, rockier, rootier and far more physical alternative to Divide trail.

Conquer is a very old hike/mtb route along Colpitt Lake, In 2021, it was adopted by MRWA and a major reroute added below the cliff face, where a granite slab crossing was built through a boulder field.

Access Info

If you are riding in on Clark Kent, access Conquer from near the optional A frame on Clark.
Access from Divide Trail at the top end.
