Trail Description:
There are actually three trails in the North Escarpment trail system; the Packhorse creek trail, the J.E.T. trail, and the Bald hill Creek trail. Ride one of them down the Manitoba Escarpment and take a different one back up. While not too technical, it is a long descent down the escarpment which is steep at times, and the climb back up can be greulling on a hot day. Watch for moose and black bears.

How to get there:
Take Hwy. 19 (gravel) East from Hwy. 10. For about half an hour. The trailhead is on the north side, near the top of the escarpment.
