Trash is great single-track trail that winds through the forest on the east side of Cheakamus river. The trail winds it way south, paralleling the Cheakamus river and offers a couple of nice viewpoints. Although rated 'blue' it has some challenging sections and could easily be upgraded to 'black'

Access Info

Make your way south of the Village to Function Junction and turn left (south) off the highway onto Chekamus Lake Road. If you need parking, there are ample spots available along this road. The start can be a little difficult to find so we have included a photo of the trailhead - it starts just past a 30km/h sign but before you enter the Cheakamus Crossing neighbourhood. The trail can be ridden in both directions (i.e. out and back) or, if you've had enough after one lap, follow the new Sea to Sky trail back towards Cheakamus Crossing.
