Appropriate name, goes up and down a lot and the sun is in your eyes in the late afternoon. The sign at the end of Lower Maple Syrup correctly points to the right, up a steep straightaway, then follow the next sign as well and go left.

Came up on a small black bear at the base of the second climb. It was 20’ or so in true bush when I first heard it start running away, caught a glimpse of it about 100’ out.

Don’t turn left at the first sign you see at the end of lower maple syrup that says solar coaster⬅️, that’s not solar coaster, It’s a little farther up on the left.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
