Land OwnerNisga\'a Village of Gitwinksihlkw
This is the flow trail northern BC has been waiting for An advanced level, machine-built flow trail with more features than you will know what to do with. The aptly named trail (Gitwinksilkw is known as the Place of the Lizards") will have your bike in the air more than any other trail in northern BC and will certainly be worthy of a few laps while you visit. Watch for signage on the trail indicating one step-down jump which has an easier alternative line.

Leaping Lizzard Trail what a pleasant surprise! Trail is in in great condition except for 1 tree fall. So much fun!! The climb trail is superb however overgrown in a couple of short sections.

Really fun jumpy flowy trail. Leans blue with black potential depending on how fast your ride. Only 1 drop and no required features. Not a knock on the trail! 5/5.
