From the Toughnut area, ride the ridge-top road to its northern end where the singletrack starts. Be aware of open pits and things start to speed up, until an abrupt bike push to the top of Morning Mountain. The popular start is by 13km of the Giveout West spur where the trail heads down and surfs though old mine rock dumps before rolling into the iconic Bears Den section that weaves through berms and rollers amongst an old growth cedar grove.

The full ride is not really worth it, pretty steep hike a bike in the middle section. It gets really good from the top, but the shuttle drop off down is probably the best bang for your buck.

Shale slope section basically feels like dirt surfing when conditions are very dry. Not an easy feature in such conditions.
