Trail 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.

When to go

Part of the Garibaldi Highlands / Alice Lake zone in Squamish, SORCA-maintained. Follows the general Squamish season: best June-September when the coastal rain pauses, though rock-rooted terrain makes it rideable between storm cycles October-May. Squamish's coastal climate rarely produces snow closures; rain is the limiting factor.

Shuttle

In the Shred Shuttle zone on Diamond Head. Shuttle saves 900m of climbing.
