Coast Gravity Park

Reviewed By whistlerkw - Whistler, Canada

Thanks Coast Gravity Park for creating a truly unique BC bike riding venue for all levels of riders. Enjoyed the relaxed pace to get to know your fellow riders on shuttle rides up to the well built trails at the top of the road = chillaxing in this Westcoast forest location. Excellent chef creates delicious lunches to purchase and snacks to keep you going too!
