This trail has the feel of a classic old school mountain bike trail.
It has it all. A challenging climb, great switch backs and an amazing descent.
There are some well built wood features and some awesome rock slabs.
The trail does a figure 8 and the route is intuitive.
In the process of being sanctioned.

Very fun trail. Built well with lots of features (all have ride around). This trail is for people who like tech and windy trails to get to the fun stuff. Has some flow

might only be 7+ km but in my opinion it feels about like a 12km ride. The technical climbs keep you pedaling and jockeying on the bike which takes a bit more physical AND mental energy. Wish I had the balls or ability to take some of the meaner sections however the ride-arounds are still enjoyable. I also wish it was longer and hope some folks starts up a couple more trails around the area because it is such great terrain. Last part of the trail was a thrill ride with multiple line choices, some of which had me climbing back up and scoping out.

Fantastic trail! Make sure when doing the climb that when you get to a sign that reads "Blue" take a left. Great switch back uphill ride.
