This sweeping trail is a heart pumper on the way up, fun and flowy on the way down. Fold 'Em is a smooth, curvy machine built intermediate climbing trail leaving the Bluff Trail a short distance from the parking lot at Km 1.
It briefly meanders through a dense cedar forest and then opens up, rolling along through a mixed stand of spruce and deciduous trees. Riders can exit at a junction at Km 3 on McBride Peak FSR, or continue up to km 6 to access the downhill trails. Fold 'Em also doubles as an easy downhill trail with great viewpoints along the way.
