Private trails open to guesting staying at the properties accommodation or attending the dig days.Track climbs to the top of the Ride Project trail network.Mostly digger built, mellow and wide, with one short section from the house that is single track and has a steep side of trail drop off (extra caution required in this area), and the corners towards the top get steeper and have loose rocks (due to wild goat population).

The Mount Royal is a step up from the Wakamarina as a Grade 5+ steep rooty descent, a good challenge if you are up to it.Track is typically accessed by a Helicopter ride straight to the top, but if you're mad you can make the looong push up from the Devils Creek hut on the Wakamarina Track. Mount Royal is an alpine environment. The track reaches a high elevation and is exposed above the treeline, so plan accordingly.
