Rode Galbraith with Mark, who had just finished building a new trail off the Tower Trail he calls Wonderland.

Mark's new trail is pretty hard to spot at the top. When I mentioned this, he pointed out a small branch he'd broken to mark the entrance, but I never would have noticed this at speed.

If you know where to go through the looking glass, though, you can duck through a seemingly impenetrable wall of brush into a mellow second growth spruce woods with a lot of old cedars lying on the forest floor among the old growth stumps.

The trail drops at first after leaving the Tower Trail, then swings across a bench to another drop followed by a brief climb to where it rejoins the Tower Tail, after the steep off-camber rock and the first steep pitch.

Wonderland is already rideable, and looking about the terrain, we both agreed that it could be extended and elaborated a great deal.

It rained on the drive into Bellingham again, and again it was actually sunny on Galbraith for much of our ride.

Approximately 1200 verts.
