Year Opened2023
This is a fun one. It starts out relatively mellow and gradually becomes steeper at the bottom before it drops into the BikeFest Dual course and then makes it's way back to Strachan road via double track. Double Cross is named for the fact that it took two Crosses to build it. Leigh Cross Donated the land and Tig Cross spearheaded the porposal. The Trail was built with a combined effort from HIMBA and the Comox Valley Regional District. HIMBA completed a trail re-route and upgrade in the Fall of 2025 that added about 100 meteress of new trail and several jumps.
