Narrow, often off-camber, singletrack with lots of tough root sections. One of the more challenging trails at Smedley. The lower portion, along Crum Creek, has lots of huge roots, and the very upper portion, between Hidden Treasure and the gas line clearcut, is extremely off-camber and rooty.

Traditionally Indigenous Territory

      Narrow singletrack filled with lots of technical, often off-camber, root sections and steeper bits. One of the more challenging trails at Smedley in my opinion.

      Off camber turns, a lot of roots, there’s a few features around out there but they’re off the trail, behind the gold course

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
