Running fine. Tiny tree down right before the first gap but you can just ride over it. Don't go below the Hwy!

      All the drops lead to deep sand and aren't an enjoyable experience but it's rideable I guess....

      This is a hidden gem! Thanks to the First Nations Team who built the amazing features! What a fun trail. More people should ride this.

      Trail seems abandoned. Nobody in the area seems to ride it or do any trail maintenance. The continuation, ‘crazy ant’, is completely overgrown.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
