This trail is the cherry on top when riding Porcupine rim Amazing views of Castle valley are afforded after 50 meters of riding. The trail has good flow with some spicy sections. There is some pedalling but no uphill sections. The exposed rock section near the bottom is a highlight of the trail giving the exposed granite slabs of Squamish a run for their money. Don't miss this trail!

      Looking for a status update on UPS. Did anyone ride this over the weekend? With a couple weeks worth of 85 degree days I'm hoping it's dried up for a cinco de mayoooo ride.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
