Winter Loop Routes

Keep an eye on @gltrailsgorba or gorba.ca for the latest trail conditions. With a warming period soon on its way, we may ask you to hold off from riding and walking on the Loops until things can firm up again, to preserve the existing track.

Looking forward to some great winter riding!
