A fairly mellow, XC flavoured trail that is a change from the fast DH melee of Joe’s Berms and Swipe Right.

This would be a good trail to do after hitting the Northwest DH trail. It winds through arbutus trees and then drops down to a grassy open area before climbing back up to the fire road on the way back to the parking lot.

You can reconnect with Stuffed Kitty and Urge from the fire road.

Access Info

The western trailhead starts off the fire road at the west side of Partridge.
