A tight winding trail up and down the Fort Edmonton hillsides through a Birch forest. This trail is not for the weak at heart, it features many successive punchy climbs and tight turns. The eastern end will test your heart and leg muscles to the max. Be sure not to miss the road crossing into the final cool-down on the western end of the trail that leads to the Fort Edmonton Footbridge.
Access Info
Accessed off Fort Edmonton Parking or Fort Edmonton Foot Bridge
Disclaimer
This trail features many hard punchy climbs.
