Tech singletrack, with lots of rocks, you have to push your bike sometimes and have good skills on rocks and trial The view is just awesome on the glacier !
Sentier trés technique, beaucoup de cailloux, il faudra pousser le vélo sur certaines portions. Il faudra des bonnes compétences sur des sentiers techniques et peu rapide ! Vue magnifique sur le glacier ! Uniquement en aller retour

      Not that hard to ride. Gets more tricky from about halfway through (narrow passage around a big rock). Only a couple of parts are very awkward creek dips that can’t really be ridden through. Epic view and well worth the effort

      Just a couple of tircky sections through which I had to push the bike. I recommend not giving up and pushing the bike through all of them. The viewpoint at the end of the trail is amazing and you want to have your bike there with you for all the pics!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
