Description

This cut-off trail is well signposted from the main Ollason Trail climbing trail on the west side of the park, and offers a convenient shortcut to an intermediate junction with Gilson Gap Trail a short distance before the descent into the canyon - meaning you can still ride the majority and more challenging parts of Gilson Gap Trail without having to climb quite so far up Ollason Trail to begin with.
