Another of the "old school" trails in the south end, this trail from the north end follows a ridge edge with some good technical sections and great looks over the ridge edge to a nice stand of trees and a small swamp before it drops into a formerly logged area that now has regrown offering a good canopy, A new climbing route at the south end allows for an easier climb up to the road and Humble Ninja
Access Info
From the south end you leave Humble Ninja staying to the left on the single track, go straight across the road and you will see the trail head. From the north end, if you are coming from Jurassic Park you turn left at the gravel road and after just a few meters you turn left again.

Probably my fave trail for aMTB thus far in this area! Beautiful, shady, interesting roots and technical stuff, and a great route off the hydro line trail.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
