Land OwnerJordanelle Ridge Trail System
Another Dwarf trail. This trail is a glorified game trail. It's narrow and rocky, with plenty of tech riding. It's more difficult than Oin to the south. It has a significant climb if you are going south to north. It's difficult to go fast.

I think the difficulty of this trail is just right for dedicated cross-country riders. lots of fun to try to manage it all without putting a put down.

“Glorified game trail” is an apt description. Though it was relatively easy to follow. Tons of low speed XC style tech on this trail that will challenge your technique and balance. It’s a fun game to try to make it through the whole trail without dabbing a foot. I generally prefer high speed rowdy (e.g. skidder) but this trail brought a smile to my face. Overall, great trail addition

Today I rode all of Gloin going south to north without putting a foot down. It took me several tries but now I know it's possible. The switchback section is the hardest part.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
