Watch for the switchback. The trail includes at least one sharp switchback — take note of the disclaimer on Trailforks and approach corners with appropriate speed, especially on a first run.
Connector trail — know where you're going. This trail feeds directly into the blue Sticks'n'Stones descent. If that's beyond your skill level, plan your exit route before dropping in.
Old skid road surface. While wide and easy to follow, the doubletrack surface can include loose gravel, embedded rocks, and variable drainage. Conditions change with weather.
Downhill primary — watch for other users. Despite its mellow rating, it supports multiple activities including snowshoeing and adaptive bikes. Be aware of slower users on the trail, especially in mixed-season conditions.
Upper mountain weather. At over 1,000 m, expect cooler temperatures and possible wind. Carry a layer even on warm days in town.
Wildlife: Bear country. Make noise, especially in the dense sections of old-growth forest alongside the skid road.
Helmets required for all riders. Accessible to all abilities but basic bike handling is expected on the steeper pitches.
Indigenous territory: This trail sits on the traditional lands of the Wet'suwet'en Yintikh, Takla, and Dënéndeh peoples. Ride respectfully.
