Flank Trail

This trail is a long ride along the flanks of Rainbow and Sproat mountains, stretching the length of the valley and then some. This trail is most useful as a connector between trails and as the access to descents off of it. Not the most difficult technically though it has steep climbs and some descents, but physically this is a gruel for most sections.

 

The main section on Rainbow connects to Billy Epic and Bob's Rebob. The main section on Sproat connects to Whip Me Snip Me, Cheap Thrills, Industrial Disease among others.
