    Grouse (top 20m) + District of North Vancouver

Contains optional TTFs, steep rough terrain and moderately steep natural TTFs. Quite technical. Definitely very different from the new school trails and a step up in difficulty as well. It is well maintained and can be ridden with a decent amount of speed. A good introduction to the more challenging old-school trails.

Access Info

Accessed off Mtn Hwy past the 5th switchback at the large clearing about 20 meters
past Ladies Only.

      This trail is so fun! Amazing work done recently, especially repairing the vandalism. And the new section just before the triple roll is sweet

      “Zen Garden”. Not “garden or Eden”. My bad.

      Just rode it for the first time today. Best trail on Fromme! So many different features seemingly from endless bridges to all the painstaking rock work that the builders put in. This trail is sooooo much fun and a definite must try. The newer “garden of Eden” portion is pretty incredible.

      Way to go builders!!
