Trail Description:
Moose Packers is most commonly used as a descent from Pneuma, or the Moose Mtn Summit Parking. Either Take Pneuma to the end or, from the summit parking lot, bike a few meters back towards HWY 66 to gain the narrow road with an access gate. Follow this road as it descends for 80m and just over 1km to the Moose Packers junction. Start the adrenaline descent through the dense forest surrounding Moose Packers. Moose Packers is a steep smooth descent loaded with sharp corners and the occasional wide open view down the valley. A quick drop down leads to an open meadow and the intersection of Ridgeback and Mountain Road. Alternatively, use Moose Packers as a steep technical climb up from Ridgeback or Mountain Road. | ||
