Pretty much incorporates the best of squamish minus the machine-built flow. This hand-built trail is a masterpiece, a labour of love, and a great all-round ride. Rock slabs, bridges, flowy loam... it's all there. The access climb gets your heart going and then it's pretty much all downhill from there minus a few pedal spots. Great flow throughout, you don't need to use your brakes the whole time.

      The road is so bad that the best access for the trail is hiking up the trail.

      I agree at least the way I got to the top the forest road is a hike a bike if dry. Step deep loose with baby heads. But once you're past that the single track climb is rideable. the trail is really fun once you are heading down. Fairly easy slab sections on the main trail however, a few unsanctioned offshoot slab sections near the end that are pretty gnarly.

      I tried several options to access this trail.
      If you got an EBike or powerful legs, I would recommend this route: www.komoot.com/tour/945904571?ref=aso

      I think it is the quickest and shortest one, but the fire road climb is hard if it is very dry, because the gravel is loose and deep.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
