Nordegg's first machine built trail With CoVid 19 happening and three Germans being involved in the building process, the name seems appropriate. It adds a lot to the existing Fire Smart Trail network and is a great choice for novice riders and advanced riders. Starting at the picnic table follow the top sections with lots of rollers and berms. Care should be taken to scope the rollers before you commit to high speeds or doubling them. As you continue down the lower section keep your eyes open for some fun side hits. Heads up for the many wooden bridges, as they will be slippery when wet. As well as for a tighter S-Turn closer to the end.

Access Info

Trailhead is located at the picnic bench.
