Star Wars Bike Trail

Route Description for Star Wars Bike Trail

The Star Wars trail starts between Tunnel Mountain Road and Tunnel Mountain Drive and quickly meets a junction where it joins the more difficult Topp Notch and the multi-use ascent trail Return of the Jedi. The Star Wars descent is 0.8 km, which makes for a relatively easy descent that doesn’t require too much bike handling skills. You’ll get to work when you join Return of the Jedi at the bottom for your ascent through the forest. Remember, you’ll always have to climb back up to the main road after each lap!

Star Wars is an excellent moderate trail that is equipped with plenty of wooden features throughout. The trail is extremely well built and wide enough that all features are optional. If you are looking for a trail to progress on wooden features, this is a great option. There are small to medium balance beams, jumps, and drops throughout the entire 1.0 km descent.

Join the trail from Tunnel Mountain Road or Tunnel Mountain Drive and travel roughly 30 m before coming to the trail junction. Follow signs to stay on Star Wars. The trail to your right is the much more technical descent of Topp Notch reserved for more intermediate to advanced riders. You’ll come across some balance features and berms right off the bat, and the features don’t stop until you reach the bottom.

Keep in mind that all features are optional, and the berms are especially wide. This is one of the best trails in town for trying new things on your bike. After 1.0 km, you’ll roll into a flat section and stay left to join Return of the Jedi that will take you back uphill to where you started. This ascent is made up of gradual switchbacks in the forest. You will need some basic bike handling skills to make it back up to the top. Once you reach the main junction, head back down for another lap and try your luck at a new feature on the way!
