Heading east along Brickburn from Edworthy Park, Brickburn continues as singletrack, with some roots, 1 small wood bridge, and some brief technical climbs both directions.
Trail traverses up and down the forested ridge, darts in and out of the trees briefly, and levels out just before NW Housefire Sarcee Bailout, continuing until Bowvale Cresent which you'd head north on and follow around the corner to the Underpass.
Named after John Goodwin ("Gravity") Watson’s quarry: located at Brickburn in what is now Edworthy Park.
Alternate Brickburn to Underpass option:
- heading west to COP, just continue straight on Brickburn, it keeps going to Bowdale Crescent NW which connects to the Underpass.
- heading east from COP, coming out of the underpass just follow Bowdale Cres. around the curve until you see the tracks, trail is before and immediately turns east.
