Description

Hammer Creek Trail is a doubletrack that enters from the red bridge on Pumping Station Road and follows the Hammer Creek until climbing up to Explorer Lodge Road. Nothing technical; just time to drop a few gears and put some burn in the legs!

Overall, a good, easy way to gain some altitude without technical ascents.
