A mostly non technical single track climb trail with some double track to get you almost all the way to the top of the network. Mostly well shaded, the trail travels through both desert scrub and thick forest and provides excellent views of Osoyoos Lake. Has some sustained steepish climbs and one steep set of black diamond level switchbacks infamously named the "Chrisbacks" that make for a fun challenge or an easy push. Overall blue difficulty for the way up or green for the down. If descending, remember to yield to climbers and hikers

Access Info

Start at the parking near the Osoyoos gun range where Moving Target ends
