“A super fast trail with a blistering downhill at the end!”

— Ryan Smith
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Trails are closed to biking December 15th-April 15th
Dogs: Leashed

Description

Access via Leith Run Campground or the upper trailhead has a small parking area along CR 9. This trail mainly follows the ridge and rolls pretty fast. When climbing from SR 7 expect numerous technical switchbacks and a few fairly steep sections before you reach the ridge top. If you're on your "A" game you can ride the whole thing clean!
