OSM Way
Cow Belle is frequently ridden in either direction and is one of many trails that can be used to get off Pipeline and onto single track when riding this lower part of Galbraith. Logged in 2018, This area has new growth so you'll have moderate coverage throughout this area.
This is an easy trail to identify from either the north or south end by the signs that have cowbells that on occasion will be rung by kiddos as they ride by.
