The Abyss

Trail Description:
Starts out in coal tailings and heads straight into a steep climb with a rocky base. At the top lots of choice including technical rock drops and faces with the occasional rock climbs. Then there is a nice singletrack downhill with a few technical sections. The ride is through mature 2nd growth forest. There is also some interesting geological features. Many other trails nearby so riding is endless. Wear your elbow protectors!

How to get there:
Nanaimo B.C....off Nanaimo Lakes Road past Colliery Lake Dam...ask for directions at local bike shop or gas station

The trail is still amazing. This year has seen some of it logged off but it continues to be a crowd favorite.

I never tire of this trail, there is climbing, steep rock faces and fast single track. Also, there are a couple of great view points.

this is one of the sweetest places i've ever ridden, from some kinda easy stuff to completely krazy like a 25 foot !!!
