Hornet Uptrack is WNSC’s first dedicated singletrack climb and completes a roughly 5 km loop entirely on singletrack.

Built using a mix of new and existing trail, Hornet replaces the old steep doubletrack and ski-trail climbs from the bottom of the lease. The new route smooths out the grade and winds naturally through mature poplar forest and chest-high brush.

Great dirt, thoughtful grades, and some of WNSC’s best trail work yet make Hornet an enjoyable climb in its own right.
