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
The southern half of Mole Trap was rebuilt in early 2015 due to logging. Like the other trails reconstructed at the same time, it features smooth singletrack and undemanding hiking. However, entering the trees on the northern half uncovers some old-school trail tight turns and more roots.
