One of my favourite rides this summer. A beautiful trail, that meanders through a thick pine forest releases you from the hustle and bustle of life. Lusk offers up great training for climbing and descending. With an immediate climb from the trail head, your stamina and leg power will be challenged. As you climb the 7km (one way) a few occasional views will excite you to continue. Once at the top at 1138 ft. the reward is an amazing picture of the Kananaskis valley.
Access can be found at Lusk Creek picnic area on highway 40(map).
Make sure you have adequate water and snack supply. Remember this is bear country! Use a bell, carry bear spray and ride with someone. Your pack should include the essentials: pump, extra tube, tire levers, patch and first aid kit. Know how to use the items in your pack!
Enjoy the ride , it’s a goodie. And, please send us any photos, video or cool stories from the trail. They will be added to our face book page!
