This trail is a key part of "The Way" from the top of Mount Geoffrey down to the bottom. In 2019 it was re-lined from a fall-line skid fest to a snaky, fast, flowy trail bringing it back into favour as a prime piece of the Hornby Island trail system. Mostly blue with a few optional black hits. There is a significant gap-to-drop that comes off of a wooden ramp on the right hand side about 2/3rds of the way down.
