Challenging and tight single-track that starts on the top of a mountain in subalpine like terrain. great views for the first few kms of trail. very demanding and unpleasant climb up an old fire road which is mostly blast rock, loose and unrelentingly steep. expect to walk a chunk of it.
The trail begins with another 15-minute hike-a-bike to the top. The trail has small trees tightly spaced and lots of jagged rock and off-camber rooty slopes so there is not a strong sense of flow to speak of for at least the first 1/3 of the trail.
Gradually improving, the trail evolves into a more rideable flow and becomes an awesome raw wilderness trail, with plenty of jank and rock rolls and catch-you-out moves
Civil Disobedience will challenge your skills, fitness and maybe your patience. The climb alone will turn many people well off.
Access Info
Use Inland Lake FSR road and Mahoney road to access top of trail. A bit of a grunt to access but well worth it. The very upper portion of the trail is accessed by A48264 road and a hike a bike through older plantation but you'll be smiling when done Takes approx. 1.5 to 2.0 hours to get to the top of the trail from bottom of Mahoney road from Inland Lake FSR. Off the top about 50 m stay left to avoid an ATV trail that goes to the right. Awesome views.
This trail is unsanctioned.

serious props to the builder/builders of this trail. Anyone know who they are? If so, shoot me a DM. Would love to buy them a beer. Some serious work went into this gem. Perfect routing. Dirt, rock to root ratio is incredible. Has a backcountry feeling in the beginning when you drop in as well.

This trail done top to bottom is an epic journey. Might not be everyone’s cup of tea but I love it! A little bit of everything, from rocky gnar to rolls to flow.

This is a trail for the true cognoscenti who like their riding raw and rugged. Just a classic is relentless up and down. Huge shout out to the builders on Mt Mahoney that are doing such good work!!!

Dont ride this trail unless you like riding hiking trails.
Reminds me trails in the 90s when biking was done on hiking trails because we hadn’t yet figured out how to build biking trails.

Fantastic trail. The views at the top are magic, then the first part of the trail seems designed to give more views. When the real down starts it’s just pure fast dynamic riding and I loves it. This should be on everyone’s to-do list.

Kudos to the builders - nice run. Feels like it's never going to end (in a good way). Definitely a grunt to get to the trailhead, but oh so worth it.

The comparison to comfortably numb is accurate.
The trail is a slog to get to, and has several km of hike a bike before the drop in. The views at the lookout are nice, but for a trail with 834m of advertised descent, you finish the trail wondering where that all was..
The trail is raw, and the lower section after the road is super fun, but I would be surprised if anybody from the sea-to-sky area got to this trail and thought the whole endeavor was worth it once, let alone worth repeating.

Great trail. Natural and raw! Moss-lined technical rocks, roots, and loam highlighted by gnarly, natural technical features reminiscent of The Shore. I would describe it as tech-gnar flow. The descent gradient is ideal for this type of trail, maximizing the fun factor down. One of the longest technical descents out there!

If comfortably numb is your idea of a good time, this trail is perfect for you. Hike a bike, jank and roots abound. Expect to peddle for 90% of the ridable sections and to walk for at least 3 km between the fsr and the first section of the trail.
The word flow does not come to mind at any point during this ride. With the exception of a very random berm and double that pops out of nowhere.
