Great singletrack connector that avoids Cokato Road. Allows for fun loops off the Trans Canada Trail, down South Castle and back to Montane. Throws you out onto Cokato at the driveway to Elkview Lodge, which you cross and then straight up Luna Blue.

Access Info

Look for a sharp right after you cross the bridge on La Bamba, as you head towards Cokato.
