MTB JUMPINGPOUND LOOP - INTERMEDIATE

Coordinator:  Maria Saley

Distance:  16 km

Elevation Gain:  418 m

Technical Rating:  Intermediate

Directions to trail head:  Take the TransCanada Hwy 1 to Sibbald Creek Trail (Hwy 68) and head south.  Park at the Pinetop Picnic area. It is approx. 12 km from Hwy 1 and the first left turn when the pavement ends.

This trail has lots of variety.   It starts fairly level with some dips  to the creek, then does some climbing on the north side.    We will go out about 8 km and then double back. to ride the trail in reverse.  There are a number of river/creek crossings over wooden man-made bridges and some great views of Jumpingpound Creek. .   

Must have a well maintained mountain bike.   Bring water, helmet , bear spray and snacks.

No beginners please as the pace will be steady.
