Gnarly and fun trail. Slabs, rock gardens, tight corners, drop offs, loam, steepness & roots - this trail has it all. Can’t imagine doing it when it’s wet.

TOO MUCH FUN! For the love of god just keep building these types of trails. 5 or 6 of these off the top of the mountain and you'll be in the same class as Sentiers du Moulin and Whistler.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
