New for 2023 A 4.5 km, green level flow trail leading from the new Yellow Gate Parking Lot all the way down to the bottom of the mountain. Great fun for riders of all levels.
The trail is named Cucwéll, the Secwépemc word for "Trail". To learn how to pronounce the word click the link below
NOTE: the very bottom portion from the lower parking area to the beginning of the Lower Harper Climb Trail is TWO WAY, but past that point the trail is DOWNHILL ONLY!
