The upper portion of Tunnel Vision is a good technical descent that takes you from the Microwave trail to the bottom of the Kadenwood subdivision and features a few rock slabs and moves with one longer steep rock face just above the Hind Sight junction. It is often linked with Big Timber to make an excellent route from Function Junction to Creekside. Be aware that many of the stunts on this trail are older and in need of repair - ride with caution.

      Biggest waste of time in my life, it’s barely even a trail do not waste your energy it’s a slog to get up there and it spits you out in kadenwood. Basically you go sideways from cheakamus to Bayshores.

      Great little track, a couple of awesome rock rolls, definitely worth the climb!

      Combined this with Hindsight after climbing Microwave access road,for a loop deadset to get the juices flowing. The rock face is a butt-puckerer from the top but easily doable for the confident riders out there. The dirt up here is epic too, juicy juicy loam.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
