Dropping into one of the rawest lines on Swansea Mountain — the legendary Steeps Trail.
This trail is exactly what the name promises… steep, loose, and full of technical challenges. From tight switchbacks to exposed sections and fast fall-line descents, it keeps you locked in from top to bottom. No room for mistakes here — just pure focus and commitment.
The climb up Swansea is a grind, but totally worth it. Once you reach the top, you’re rewarded with insane views over the Columbia Valley before pointing the bike downhill into one of the most aggressive descents in the area. 
Expect classic BC riding: loose dirt, rocks, and proper black diamond terrain that tests both skill and confidence. This is not a beginner trail — it’s for riders who love steep, technical lines and that raw, natural feel.
If you’re into adrenaline, big mountain vibes, and proper downhill tech… this one delivers.
