Pilisit Trail was named after the wife of revered Ktunaxa Chief Isadore.
This is an easy beginner trail that is 1.2 meters wide that climbs at 3 - 5 % from the Chief Isadore Trail to the Kettle Lake parking lot. The lower part of the trail can also be linked with [L=https://www.trailforks.com/trails/elephant-run/] Elephant Run to make a nice 3.8 km beginner loop.

Makes for a great first ever downhill run. This trail is also a part of the Cranbrook Great Trail Loop

      Unequivocally one of the best trails I’ve ever ridden. Perfect gentle climb, and ear to ear grin on the fun flowy descent!
