Flashback is a PLANNED intermediate trail that will connect Far Out to AM/PM/Interpretive Forest parking lot. Currently in final stages of authorization, this trail is planned to be constructed after the Cheakamus Community Forest completes fuel management for fire hazard reductions along Cheakamus Lake road in the coming months.

This trail will provide a return trail on the uphill side of Cheakamus Lake road and reduce two-way traffic on Farside/Riverside enhancing users experience and safety.

This development will provide WORCA with a great community project and will hopefully utilize our highly successful trail nights to complete the majority of the work.

      Me and my boys (6 and 10) rode Flashback 1-5 and had fun! Mom drove us to the top of the trail. Hahaha. You can ride it fast or slow and be totally fine, but the couple of sections I rode at 90% were flowy and fast. Highly recommend. Even better if you get the shuttle up!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
