Description

Unfortunately, this trail is now closed. The final few hundred meters pass through private property. The land owners have indicated not to want people through their property.If Trickle Falls is not your cup of tea, then this will be a cup of cold sick. Very steep, rocky, and with more than a few sketchy chutes/drops (grade 5+ to 6). Not for the inexperienced (especially when wet) and should be attempted only on 160mm+ enduro or downhill specific bikes. Originally a walking trail that has had some modifications to make it better to ride.
