Fantastic fast, bermy trail. You get a lot of fun for your climb, about 20 minutes worth. Riders of all skill levels can enjoy this trail. Aside from a few technical areas, the squid line is perfect for a beginner rider who is comfortable with singletrack trails, while for more experienced riders, the trail is fast and flowy, with enough variety to keep it interesting. Features several short climbs and a longer climb at about the halfway point; The trail surface is narrow in places, and is very long for new riders, especially if combined with riding up the road.

 Tree down on the trail completely blocking it. 12-18” diameter so it will need a chainsaw to clear it out.

      *Chefs Kiss* - Beaut trail. Flowy, twisty, carries speed over the climbs. THIS is the blue flow by which blue flow should be measured. Don't bring your Karpiel Armageddon: this is for a sporty little hatchback, not your F350. Bring a trail bike, eyes up, let it roll, you'll have a blast.

      Very fun singletrack trail. I took my 12 y/o son and this was our first trip to Sumas Mountain. Not much in the way of features but a few wood bridges and opportunities to get a bit of air if you carry enough speed here and there.

      I made the mistake of driving to the start of the trail and riding the same access road back up. The road was recently graded so our bikes were covered in a thick layer of dust before we even began. Best to part at the lower lot (b4 the road turns to dust) and ride up first. I do wish there was a nice climbing trail instead.

      Fun trail for the first 3/4 of it. The last 1/4 is alot of uphill, to the point that it no longer was enjoyable. We cut over to Emma Peel for the last section and it was also alot of climbing. Overall still a fun trail and its well maintained, however, it was quite wet today.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
