Description

This trail connects to Sidewinder on the east side and runs across the top of Avalanche to the observation deck on the west. It provides a great opportunity for making a loop on the top of Avalanche with Sidewinder for some extra fun. The trail has good flow and takes you through a beautiful forested area.

There are trail maps posted at all trail intersections. The trail crosses a heavily used hiking trail in multiple places. Green posts with yellow warning signs mark walking trail intersections. Please look out for hikers at these points.

The trail also crosses old mountain bike trails (listed on MTB Project as Avalanche Bike Trail). There are red diamonds with white arrows that indicate the direction to stay on the new trail. The old trail can be ridden, but it is not well marked and is not well maintained.

View of Lake Charlevoix from the top.  This is what makes the climb worth it!
