Features -none-

Galbraith Mountain is privately owned but trails are created and maintained by WMBC. Galbraith is open to non-motorized users except for hunting and fishing. The area is an ongoing site for logging operations so visitors should be on the lookout for temporary trail closures. Trails are multi-use; expect traffic in both directions and yield to hikers and equestrian users.

Description

Happy Hour starts with a short climb with the occasional off-camber corner leading to the start of Spirit Bear (currently closed 03/2015). From there, the trail drops in for deep turns and more off-camber goodness as it rapidly darts from turn to turn. A couple of tricky root sections and some flow add to the good times.

Happy Hour is over too quickly and unfortunately there isn't a simple way to loop back again for more.
