Masochists need only apply. Although not physically demanding, the trail does take it's toll on the body via soul-crushing roots that cover the trail from beginning to end. There is some fun to be had on a few short downhill sections but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who says these sections balance out the rooty grind otherwise.
Can be ridden either way - net uphill going eastbound with a short, tough climb at the finish as you get to the park boundary and Canmore Nordic Centre. Multiple sections regularly stay swampy well through spring and into early summer as the trail is completely shaded by Mt. Rundle.
Usually combined with the Goat Creek trail to make a big loop (~50km) of Mt. Rundle. Otherwise, it's good to ride once a year to remind you how smooth the other trails in the area are (except Upper Stoney Squaw).
