One of the most fun ups and downs in the valley, accessed via "Swine Flu Climb">
The second half of the climb, from Mad Cow, is designated black as it becomes more technical and steeper above this point. Sharp switchbacks and a couple of steep pitches immediately will challenge intermediate riders.
The down is without doubt one of the most popular in Fernie. Very flowy, with twists, turns, small root drops, banks, berms and all that good stuff. Tackling it at high speed can be high risk, however, and first-time users are encouraged to familiarise themselves before giving 'er to the max.
A bench and beautiful views await those who make it to the top, and the pig has migrated from Mad Cow junction to the top. If the bench at the pig is busy, hike a few metres above the pig to another bench and lookout that is normally much less busy.
Access Info
Either riding from town head up the trail that starts at Fairy Creek. If driving head to the Visitor Centre, park there and head up the single track that starts there.
