Description

The Darkside is probably the most interesting climbing trail you'll ever find. Lots of flow features, mini pump tracks, tables, rock rides and log rides. Clean trail through tight birch with climb spread out over about 2 miles. Take it from the start and across 2 fire roads (follow arrows and singletrack) to the orange downhill.
