If ridden clockwise, this trail (signed as Trail 21 on the ground) starts with a really nice 1.1 mi downhill heading northeast. However, after the trail turns south, you really pay a price. On the south bound portion of the trail, you encounter one ultra steep short uphill after another with a lot of hike-a-bike sections. The subsequent downhills are equally steep. The downhills are fun on the loose scree, but you're on the brakes a lot. Once the trail turns back to the northwest, it's about a 3/4 of mile climb back to School Pond Trail (Trail 2) with a hike-a-bike section in the beginning.

Follow the main road (Wapiti Road) through the park west for 1.2 miles to the School Pond Trailhead on your left. It is before the Visitors Center. You access the trail off of School Pond Trail about 0.4 mi from the trailhead.
This trail is challenging. After the 1+ mile downhill to start, which is a lot of fun, there are several ultra steep short climbs followed by similarly steep short downhills - all on loose scree. Both would be challenging for a newer rider. The climb out to Lost Pond Trail is a bit of slug to end with.
