Squamish, BC

Beta: Park at the middle lot of the three Diamond Head / Ring Creek trailheads (lower, middle, top) if you're just lapping Half Nelson — all off Ring Creek FSR east of Hwy 99. Climb up Ring Creek Access Road (FSR) from the middle lot and descend Half Nelson — ~2 km of pure bermed flow, very little braking required, creek crossings and wooden bridges. Shuttle-able by leaving a car at lower and top lots, and you can link Pseudo-Tsuga for the lower return as a stacked flow lap. Rides well even in the rain.

Beta: Park at the lower Diamond Head lot (commonly called the 'Pseudo lot') off Garibaldi Park Rd, or stage up at the Climbing Trail lot for Part 1 access. Drive up Mamquam Rd from Hwy 99 (Canadian Tire) which becomes Garibaldi Park Rd. Upper entry is at the SORCA shelter on Ring Creek North FSR — Pseudo drops down-left just before the shelter. Fast, flowy, a couple of optional jumps across Parts 1-3 — lower connector that most riders link after Half Nelson or Angry Midget to get back to the lots.

Beta: Park at Alice Lake Provincial Park for the north access or in the Garibaldi Highlands neighborhood (Mashiter trailhead) for the south climb. From Alice Lake, climb 50 Shades of Green → Mike's Loop → Tracks From Hell → Cliffs Corners → Northside Connector → Ed's → Mad → Mad Hatter → Man Boobs → Edith Lake Access → Of Mice and Men to reach Rupert's drop-in. Rupert is a 'moderate black' — big rock slabs, wooden bridges, fast flow sections with fun rolls and optional side lines. Downhill-only directional; signed black but rides closer to a solid blue-plus.

Beta: Access via the Smoke Bluffs Park trailhead on Loggers Lane / Buckley Ave in downtown Squamish — limited lot, street parking nearby. Downhill-only; ride at walking pace on your first lap and walk every feature before committing — 10-ft drops and exposed rock rolls are the norm. Technical expert terrain with well-built but consequential wood features — if you haven't cleaned Rupert, In-N-Out, Recycle cleanly, you are not ready. Link with Entrails below for a ~10-mile expert route. Don't session alone.

Beta: Start from the Alice Lake Provincial Park day-use lot (parks pass required) — climb Jack's Trail and the Mashiter system to access Credit Line's upper entry. Short climb at the beginning then delivers a fast, rooty, rocky descent — one of the original Squamish classics. Exits onto Jack's Trail and dumps back at the Alice Lake campground. Hero dirt when conditions are right (not wet, not dust-dry). Don't save it for the end of your day — roots and rocks punish tired legs and sightlines matter here.

Beta: For the Squamish section, park at Sp'akw'us Feather Park downtown, the Adventure Centre gravel lot on Loggers Lane, or outside Fergie's Cafe at Squamish Valley Rd / Paradise Valley Rd to skip the town section. Ride north (Squamish → Whistler) to get most of the climbing done early; the return is mostly downhill. ~90% gravel singletrack and dirt roads with short highway sections (~9 km total) — gravel bike or hardtail with 45mm+ tires works better than a full-squish. Cut options: start at Chance Creek or Brandywine Falls to shorten.
