      Rode backwards from Dan George. Did not like this trail at all, almost no features, some pretty rough climbs for very little payoff.

      One of the best trails in this system when ridden backwards. Not double track as described here, this is some fun single track with very high speeds, jumps, views, and some good climbs. Best access to run it backwards is from the Main loop bail out at Dan George Road.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
