Description

Start at the gate on Bennett Rd and follow the access road. This will get you to the base of Mt. Watatic, an abandoned ski area.

Keep following the access road to the summit. There will be a particularly steep section around mile 1.0 but otherwise it's just a matter of cranking along.

This access road provides the easiest way to the top of Mt Watatic from where you'll have a variety of options for getting back down.

The toughest climb I've done, but the view is one of the best in the area that you can get to on a bike. Absolutely perfect!
