The Cinch Trail is a great moderate loop off of the Pemberton trail. The northeast part (to right if you come in from Cinch) is some of the rockiest trail in the park, but offers punchy climbs and fun descents. The southwestern part (to the left off of Cinch) is relatively smooth, wide and flowy, with some sandy areas, much like Cinch. The trail is named appropriately, the views along the entire route are fantastic Best ridden clockwise.
