A heavily eroded hillclimb with a check dam at the top. About 20 check dams were installed on these old trails. Diversion ditches were constructed to restore natural drainage patterns and the upper ends of the trails were ripped and seeded.

Six loads of rock materials were delivered from Western Canada Limestone. Four loads of 4-8" minus; one load of 3" minus which was used as fill; and one load of 2-4" minus which was used for trail hardening.
