Access Issues
The trails at Galbraith Mountain are built and maintained by the WMBC - Whatcom Mountain Bike Coalition and mountain bikers account for most of the traffic. RXHERs are still welcome, but many trails are for descending riders only.

Description
A brief connector trail for either direction linking Road 4100 to the Towers at the top of Galbraith. The trail is pretty much a straight shot between the two. But some roots, cliffside exposure in the middle, and an off camber rock slab at the bottom make it unique all the same.
