Starting at the Giants Trailhead, head across the carpark and towards the Tree Top Walk along the Glass Slipper. Just before you get to the Tree Top Walk, turn off to your right onto Gatekeepers. This is a true cross-country experience and is bound to get your blood pumping and adrenaline flowing. You'll pop out on Vermeulen Road before turning right onto the Munda Biddi Trail. Once you've passed through the Ride Through Tree, turn right to view the Pleated Lady and find your way back to the Giants Trailhead along the other end of Glass Slipper. 

This is a fast and fun ride that the whole family will enjoy.
