Land Owner
This Elevator comprises of two sections, first the climb then the descent. The Elevator Descent links into "The Bad Step" which is a stand alone Technical Trail Feature (TTF) in the trail. Fast hard-pack single track with bed rock outcrops and a short boardwalk section. The final section is undulating as you head along to The Bad Step, this TTF is a stone pitched section with a small drop at the bottom and has exposure to the left.
Beyond The Bad Step the trail has minimal gradient but outcrops of rock will keep you honest as you descend to the forest road. The Elevator forms part of the official 7stanes Mountain Bike Trail
