Sustainable Builds
Our experienced team works with the land manager, provincial recreation officer, and in conjunction with the Squamish Off-Road Cycling Association. Projects range from single season to multi-year, and are founded on sustainable, long lasting construction practices.
Deliverance 2024
A long forgotten trail, Deliverance was resurrected and is now a locals favourite. By adding catch berms, improving alignment, and addressing drainage issues we enhanced the trails tread, stability, and speed. Not for the faint of heart, this rebuild saw a massive amount of rock being moved by hand and repurposed elsewhere. Unveiled for the Squamish Enduro Full Course, Deliverance won Trailforks Trail of the Month for April 2024.
Cougar Ridge 2025
Built in the late 90's, Cougar Ridge once represented the pinnacle of freeride and rock slabs in Squamish. Host trail of The Rockstar Invitational for over a decade, Cougar Ridge saw limited traffic after 2010. The concept of bringing back The Rockstar for the 2025 Squamish Enduro spurred the idea to rehabilitate this classic and make it famous again. Once a trail for technical wizardry, it now goes - full speed ahead.
Thank you to Woodfibre LNG for supporting the Rawk and Route project. As a neighbour in our community, their contribution reflects a shared commitment to investing in Squamish’s natural spaces and helping to maintain the trail network we all enjoy.
