Fun singletrack up or down. This trail criss-crosses Shotgun on its way up about 6 or 7 times before joining onto Shotgun about halfway up. It then splits off at the large bridge and continues its way up onto Great Riddance for a short while crossing Shotgun twice and Great Riddance again before the steep switch backs and eventually making the ridge. From here, you may head back down Pro Bono and/or Shotgun, or down Great Riddance for a much steeper and stunty trail.

Access Info

From the Community Trail, climb up lower Good Riddance until it crosses two very close OHV trails. The second one is shown on the base map above. Take a left on the higher OHV trail and follow it 0.5 km to the Gold Creek Road. Turn right on the road and follow it to an old well site. Continue up a doubletrack northwest out of the well site until it crosses Pro Bono. Follow Pro Bono up. On the way down continue down from this point, cross the road, and join Good Riddance.

This trail is unsanctioned.

      Still too much snow on the up trail on back side of the mountain.
