Natural singletrack trail winding through forest. Similar terrain to Pistolero but with steeper sections. The main feature is a rocky outcrop to very loose left-hand catch berm. There is now a ride-around for the rock roll.

Access Info

Access from the top is off of the Husky Road, the trail exits onto Elbow Valley.

      Interesting that someone feels the rock roll is only a dark blue. After 5-6 times down it I feel like it’s quite stiff myself. What blues have rock rolls like that?

      Fun trail, rock roll is a dark blue feature imo. No loam. Left, agree with others it's a tech trail now.

      Agree with prior comment on new name of Rockzilla. The loam that was on this trail a few years ago has been eroded to rocks with the significant increase in bike traffic over the past 2-3 seasons. Still a fun trail but it's become a bit techier riding with time due to erosion and don't expect much loam.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
