Mount Macpherson's premier flow trail makes a smooth climber, as well as a fast flowing descent trail. Remember: uphill riders have the right-of-way. This should be on your must-do list at Mount Macpherson.
Follow the signs for the blue 'ride-arounds' to avoid riding the black diamond technical trail features (TTFs).

Such a fun trail! Rail the corners and air the rollers. It's basically a 5km long pumptrack without any techy bits, so stay off the brakes and PUMP ZEE ROLLAZ! Recommend climbing the more techy Tantrum on the return leg.

Being the first trail I had ridden in Revelstoke, I was pretty happy with this as a warm up and climbed from the Dusty Beaver side which was a really fast and smooth climb. Super fun and fast if you let it rip and the little jump section was a cool feature to have in the middle. Would definitely recommend connecting the Tantrum trail as a loop back to your vehicle for some techy climbing / single-track.

My favorite trail in Revelstoke! Wonderful cross-country that kicks your butt before the fun down hill part comes. I take dusty beaver to Flow down which creates a challenging, long and fun ride. Best of the best

Not sure how to describe this. Maybe IMBA-ish? A machine built flow trail with lots of short climbs and decreasing radius corners with two-way traffic. Why allow two-way traffic on a trail built with lots of blind corners and even a few high speed jumps?
If it was described as cross-country I might have had more realistic expectations.

My boyfriend lapped this trail a bunch of times while I sent it on some harder trails. Still a fun fast trail for me though. But chair is a much better trail IMO

I'm gonna have to agree with @melissali while this is a great trail I would love to see it get to that Chair level
