Missing Link is a fairly long and difficult Halfmoon Bay trail. It can be directly accessed via a number of trails including Little Knives, Barrel 'o Frogs, Gord's Grunt, Fork Off and Riley Falls. The first hill coming up from Gord's Grunt or Fork Off is a killer. It's fairly steep and rocky. There are other rocky areas as well as lots of roots and sharp corners here and there.

For a longer ride it's nice to combine this trail with Little Knives, Gord's Grunt, Datsun Alley and then out to Connor Park.

 One tree across trail 200 meters towards highway from Riley Falls junction, chainsaw worthy... Otherwise trail is clear, but slippery roots abound!
