TTFs on TrailRock Garden
Often cited as the toughest trail on the mountain to clean, Upper Vic's is extremely steep, natural and very technical. Many tight corners into rooty/rocky chutes will challenge your slow speed abilities. Things become exceptionally tricky when there is moisture on the roots or gravel in the chutes. Expect little to nothing in the way of ride-arounds. Good luck
This trail is unsanctioned.

Definitely a classic. Don't take the description lightly. This is the real deal. I'd say tougher than Bookwus, and combo'ed with Lower Vic's throw in Lower Ladies for good measure. A real test of technical skill.

First time riding upper Vic's today with my friend, we had a great time. Do you like testing your balance? Or enjoying rough, technical trails? This is for you!
burkerider
Probably the hardest trail on Burke. Recent trail work has made it a little easier but still some very committing sections that will test even the best riders.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
