Easiest route to the summit of Cobble Hill Mountain.

Busiest trail on the mountain by far so downhill runs are not recommended.

Access Info

Trailhead located at the washroom building in Quarry Nature Park.

      Best way to climb up to the summit but very busy with hikers and horses on weekends. Switch backs can get a bit sharp and rooty/rocky so pick your lines right or get some power/speed

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
