Land OwnerVaagen Fibre Canada
A nice mellow climbing trail to access upper Hooch. Pretty good shade even on a hot day. A good climb and descent for kids or those just learning to ride but make some noise so up hill traffic knows you are coming. Named after the resident grizzly mama that lives in the area
