Old school single track with plentiful rock and tight switchbacks. A couple of nice view points along the way. this trail is blue black with a few hike-a-bike climbs due to steepness. The trail sees very little use.

Access Info

best ridden from the trail head on road 4614 as an OAB. The trail head on 4610 is hard to access and the road is in very poor condition. Can be tied in with Fanton trail 505 fro a much longer ride.

Traditionally Indigenous Territory
