About This Trail

Evergreen is a green-rated singletrack descent on the lower slopes of Mount Harry Davis, packing 39 m (127 ft) of elevation loss into just 460 m of trail at a punchy -8.4% average grade. For a green trail, it moves — the consistent downhill pitch and max grade of 27.8% give it more character than a typical beginner run, making it a satisfying little rip for newer riders building confidence on steeper terrain, and a quick, fun lap option for experienced riders warming up or cooling down. It sits at the base of the network starting around 910 m (2,987 ft), close to the lower parking lot, and connects naturally into the Sapling and Escalator segments that form the heart of the lower-mountain loop. Locally the most popular mountain bike trail in the lower network (ranked #1 locally for MTB), Evergreen earns its name — a reliable, go-to green that's always worth riding regardless of what else you've got planned for the day.

Getting There

Directions

From Houston, BC, head south on Butler Avenue and turn onto Harry Davis Way toward Mount Harry Davis. Evergreen sits at the base of the trail network at approximately 910 m (2,987 ft) elevation, close to the lower trailhead parking lot. It's most naturally accessed as part of the lower-mountain loop alongside Sapling and Escalator — follow the trail network signage from the lower lot and you'll reach the Evergreen trailhead within a short pedal or walk.

Parking

Park at the lower Mount Harry Davis trailhead lot off Harry Davis Way. Evergreen is easily accessible from this lot as part of the lower loop — no shuttle required. The lot is unpaved gravel with no current parking fees. Space is limited, particularly on summer and fall weekends. Arrive early or coordinate with other users if the lot looks full on busy days.

Safety & Preparation

Steeper than it looks for a green. With a max grade of 27.8% and an average of -8.4%, Evergreen pitches noticeably on sections — new riders should approach the steeper rolls with controlled speed until they're familiar with the trail.

Multi-use trail. Hikers, trail runners, and snowshoers all use this trail. Ride in control and be ready to yield, especially on the faster lower sections where other users can appear suddenly.

Natural singletrack surface. Roots and loose material can make the steeper sections slippery in wet conditions. Check Trailforks reports after rain or in early spring.

All-season use including snowshoe. Winter conditions change the character of the trail significantly — expect variable traction on the descending sections in snow or freeze-thaw conditions.

Wildlife: Bear country. Make noise throughout, especially through the denser spruce sections near the base.

Helmets required for all riders. Suitable for families and newer riders, but respect the gradient 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.
