      It takes about 50 minutes to do the loop with a couple stops along the way. I would much rather take this...

      A fun section of the Gearjammer route on Burnaby Mountain. Has some fun corners and a few wooden features. More techy than upper lower gearjammer.

      High level of water erosion on the trail. Large gully’s and parts of the trail fallen in with lots of loose rocks on the trail in places!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
