About Nationals, Pemberton MTB Park
Nationals offers an alternative route from Pirate Trail to Woodcutters and is suited for more experienced riders. This technical, challenging trail takes riders on a cross-country traverse with swooping, rocky, off-camber sections and tight uphill climbs across the hillside, before ending with a steep exit onto Woodcutters. From here, riders can connect to Vanilla Slice or continue up Woodcutters to Fingertips and Bloody Mary or the trailhead at the summit.Â
