Ride Summary:
This trail can deliver an old fashion butt kicking if you're not prepared for the challenges ahead.

Trail Description:
Challenging is a polite way to describe this ride. It begins in Cliff's Corners, sweet twisting single track, and descends into technical stair like hills. So technical in fact that whoever maintains the trails has seen fit to put up webbing on nearly all the switch backs so riders do not go careening off into the forest floor several feet below. Once through the technical section the trail smoothes out into a fast single track around Fawn Lake. You do have to watch out for the water bars however.

How to get there:
Park in Squamish at Barney's Petro Canada at the corner of Hwy 99 and Garabaldi Way.

Squamish? yeah well its not just one trail here. There are so many that you realy need to talk to a local if you want to get anywhere, but once you do you got good XC all over the place and you can get to good dh/freeride trails with a van pretty ez

Squamish is not a trial... it is the "Recreation Capital of Canada". Just about the best KoreXC you can find. Most bits of Freeride goods require a climb, but how sweet it is to reap what you sow... I can ride my Dare up and down in Squamish all day long and come home whistling "zippity doo-da" out my a$$.

If you want your ass spanked in Squamish ask at one of the bike shops for a map of the 'Test of Metal' course. Get ready to blow your balls (and your bearded clam)...

Your description of this trail is very vague. I am from Squamish, and I can't tell which trail you are talking about. And parking at the Petrocan will sentence people to about 30 minutes of unnecessary pavement riding. For good Squamish riding info, get hold of the local biking guide, which is excellent.
