      One of the best trails in Edmonton, no contest.
      ChaxTrail
      Excellent condition. Decended and climbed, only had to walk up 2 sections. Not super loose at time of writing. Watch for trees when whipping around berms.

      What a trail!! Makes me feel like I’m riding back in BC for a bit. One of the longer stretches of technical downhill in Edmonton. This is an Edmonton must-ride. Don’t let the rating scare you. It’s a pretty soft black.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
