Land OwnerCapital Regional District
Another Hartland favourite and must-ride. Snakes and Ladders winds its way down from the lookout. It is the most sustained downhill in the centre of the park. Riders often link in to Little Face and end on Plunge Extension.
Access Info
Access is via Dave's Dementia, at the top of Torpedo Run.
