    Tips

    We rode down this technical, rock-filled mountain trail and are happy with that choice. With a bit of steering, we were able to cycle large sections downhill, sometimes using the narrow singletrack along the side of the road. I expect you'll have to walk for a long time on the way up, but for a beautiful loop through the rest of the Balmoral Estate, this trail is definitely worth it.

      Section was on/off with a gravel bike but the hike is short lived and your soon greeted by the best view!

        The descent was very steep with large stones that made it too difficult/dangerous to navigate as an intermediate rider-15/20 min walk.
