After you have defeated a ninja cougar what foe will stand before you? The Karate Monkey. This is a flow trail with a few rocky/tech sections and one wood bridge. You wont need to pedal or brake, the trail is that well though out. It is in the trees and offers a nice change of pace on the wet days at Whistler.
