Land OwnerCity Of Lethbridge
A variation on Magic Touch that gets you out of the weeds for a bit and onto higher ground. Definitely more fun than the grass section.A little bit of a climb with some off camber sections and a few peddle catchers that leads to a nice peak to roll down.
This trail is unsanctioned.
