Hard climb to get to a unless you buy a lift pass at Cranmore and take the doable climb up the Kettle Connector to the Hurricane Trail System. Easily did 4 loops in an afternoon!

Wow! Best designed flow trail that I have ever ridden! You can literally float from berm to berm by pumping over perfectly placed rollers!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
