Rode this South to North. Didn’t love the boggy sections and rooty = no flow. Views of Athabasca River near the stairs save this ride somewhat for 2 stars.
zyphen
This is a hiking trail you can ride. There are a few impassable sections and it can be rather boggy for sections.
Iamkeri
One run and you'll satisfy your lifetime quota for zero grade roots, mud bogs and mosquitos. Do not recommend.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
