Diesel Wolf Map

Diesel Wolf is one of the most infamous trails in South Rutherford and reserved experienced riders only. This double black diamond run is fast, technical, loamy and adrenaline-inducing for most of the ride, then finishes with a launch ramp and gap over an active railroad. Scout the gap thoroughly and don't hesitate to bypass it if you don't feel 110%.

Description

Diesel Wolf begins near the top of the gravel access road and ends at the Sea-to-Sky Highway just a short pedal from the parking area.

For a lower-risk trail of similar difficulty, consider a run down PHD instead.
