Dogs AllowedYes
One of the only lines in the area deserving of a double black diamond. The trail is a straight shot from the top of the credit valley to the bottom at the Culham Trail. Very eroded which only adds to the challenge, plenty of rocks and roots. Sometimes referred too as Suicide.
This trail is unsanctioned.
