The start of the full Cascades trail, Granite Grind is the original technical, hand-built classic. Great views, rocky, raw, cross country trail. Stretch your skills and work on your technique in this tight, short, single track. Includes great views from the Summit. The lower half descends to a river crossing, before turning back uphill along a single track for a 2km climb back to the resort. A nice workout that goes through the old logging ruins and mountain ash forest.
