Trail has some steep rock faces that can be dicey when wet. Easier to ride up the trail from Lundy's Lane. Coming down the trail you have to hit the rock faces and there are no alternate routes.

There is a seasonal water hole deep enough to swallow a bike. An alternate route has been cut and is obvious.

Access Info

Access lower trailhead accross from the North End of Lundy's Lane. Trail has a mid-way exit option on "Punch Out." Trail upper entrance/exit on NLR47 just below Salal Alley.

This trail is unsanctioned.
