This is a super fun trail Very XC but it flows great. Skip that last steep trail up to Siksikaitsitapi Medicine Wheel, instead, take All Pattern to Bald Pattern to get to the Siksikaitsitapi Medicine Wheel.

Trail following east fence turning west for moderate climb, which increases in grade about 1/3 the way, becoming further steeper the last 3rd, arriving at top just south Siksikaitsitapi Medicine Wheel.

Access Info

start at east fence, bottom or Norquay Climb, or at top Nose Hill Siksikaitsitapi Medicine Wheel
