Trail Overview

This trail explores the vicinity of Nanaimo, British Columbia. It begins on the town side, leading into the Blood Fart section, which forms a loop starting and ending at a Forest Service road. Accessing Blood Fart involves navigating a blend of two tracks and technical obstacles until reaching a cliff face where the trail is situated. Throughout the trail, narrow passages make it challenging for vehicles to maneuver, especially along the cliff edge, which boasts a dramatic 500-foot vertical drop on one side and dense trees on the other. Additionally, the trail is off-camber and in combination with the trees, is a threat to hard tops. A suitable spot for lunch, known as the Club House, offers a break before tackling the more demanding segments of the loop. Eventually, the trail returns to the main forest road upon completion.

Difficulty

The trail is difficult with erosion, loose rocks, dirt, and slickrock. Water over 12 inches deep is possible with mud conditions. Steps do not exceed 48 inches. 4WD, 35-inch+ tires, and two traction-adding devices (lockers, limited slips) are required. Smaller tires will require building rock supports in locations. A winch would be a plus. Enhanced suspension travel, good ground clearance, and excellent driving skills are required. Vehicle mechanical or body damage is likely. Rollover possibilities exist.

blood fart was in great shape but just a heads up to anyone using this track to get to the trail. Not once along the posted route does it actually take you to the trail. Not sure if the poster clicked the wrong route or what but if you follow it do not expect to find the real trail or even anything in the posted pictures.
