Land OwnerMission Forestry Tree Farm
Cranks is accessed off Doyle St.
Shortly after coming in off Doyle you will need to look for a fork to the left. Cranks is a great XC climb that will leave your lungs burning. Cranks ends up T-ing into Upper Pioneer Connector, which if followed (to the left) will take you to the ZigZag bridge and connect to Corduroy.
Descending can be fun. Some of the tight switchback corners come up quick, so you can't bomb down this one.
To access Cranks from the Saunders side follow Corduroy to the East (past the tower trail).
This trail is unsanctioned.

A more recent review of Cranks is: runs great in the dry, not too shabby in the wet. A challenge to ascend, and then a bit cranky to descend. It's a great trail to get into and out of the trail network from the east side.
qduffy
Mucky, wet, tons of organics. In the rain you'll practically end up doing twice the distance on Cranks because you'll be spinning out so much. Save it for summer.

I like this trail, but man does it hurt going up. If you want just a quick power climb and back down, do cranks to corral.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
