Very tech trail with some extreme exposure. The trail is very steep and almost entirely on rock slabs. Must have great braking control and be comfortable on very steep slabs/boulders. It was built to be slow, tech, and jank. Stay safe and send it

 Super cool trail. Majorly grown over is spots but somewhat rideable, as it is mostly on slabs.

      Rode it yesterday in the rain. Not so bad but definitely tech and a bit gnar at times. Trail is sick. Loved it!

      Don’t know why this trail has been abandoned, it’s super neat and could be brought back to life with little work. Being from Squamish this trail felt like home. Bummer it’s gone into disrepair.

      Hikers need to stop stacking rocks on the trail. This trail was built for mountain bikes by mountain bikers. Stacking rocks in the line makes it dangerous for everyone and if I catch anyone altering that trail without authorization, I’m throwing hands. Book it.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
