There is a large tree down just before the jumps, if you enter from the bridge on the north side.

      Very well built trail!

      Is it fun? Not particularly
      Is it difficult? Parts of it will have beginners walking; but overall, no.
      Is it worth experiencing? Absolutely
      Can you get better by riding it lots? Unquestionably

      Pretty fun for a flat trail. Hope your cardio is up if you want to do it with any kind of speed. Downfall would be a ton of traffic, lots of beginners. Seen a few people with headphones in both ears couldn't even hear my bells, something newbs do.
      excel
      No flow, flat corners to the point of being tiresome. Built in the low average speed "multi-use conflict avoidance style" of trail building that seems to be common in Edmonton. Constant frustration due to scrubbing of any speed you build up.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
