Tsuga is a classic. There's a few tricky rooty sections, and a couple of rock face rolls, but pretty much all natural old-school trail. Some trials-type climb features too making a clean run hard to come by.

Near the end of the trail on the steep section, watch left for the connector trail to Snakes and Ladders or continue right on an old corduroy road back to the main skidder road for another lap.

Access Info

Take the right off the main road not far before the power lines. Both John's Trail and Tsuga share the same access in the clear-cut section, but to ride Tsuga go left where it T's.

      Beauty natural trail. If that's your thing you'll giggle the whole way down like I did!

      This is the hardest blue I have ever seen. Be careful if you are not an advanced rider.

      Absolute beaut! Steep, tight and techy. Riot of a trail, so much fun. Links really nicely with snakes and ladders which has a similar feel. Definitely a dark blue/easy black
