Land Owner
Cruisy singletrack cross country trail on the edge of the Tunnel Mountain bench that provides great views of the Bow Valley. Trail rides great in both directions but it faster and arguably more fun when ridden West to East. Although this is a beginner friendly trail with sections of intermediate difficulty, there are exposed sections that may unnerve beginner riders. Watch for optional "High Roller" blue line added in 2018. Trail is part of the Tunnel Bench loop with "The Spine" and Teddybears Picnic."
