Description

Cardiac Hill begins near the Heinrich Park Trailhead. Ascending the trail begins with a moderately difficult 150 ft climb on a dirt singletrack with a few areas of loose rock. After the initial climb the trail levels off a bit but gets much more technical with large boulder areas and a few shorter climbs.
