You should see the brown sign for trail #432, this is the trail you will take back down to the car. Narrowback North is often ridden in conjunction with Narrowback South but by itself provides am excellent ride with a little less climbing than the Cookie Trail and there are fewer rocks. The Festival Trail of Narrowback North has better flow when ridden south to north than the Cookie Trail ridden north to south.
