Yeah you can shuttle the trails and you can buy the map at the tourist information where the trails end up. Map is quite old though and there's a lot of new trails on Iron mtn

The easiest way I found to get the map was to buy it at the info station where the connector and the coquihalla meet. The info booth is the easiest lower shuttle spot if your new to iron mtn.

The shuttle is the coquihalla towards van, exit at comstock rd.

There are no bikeshops in Merritt, you'll have to drive to kamloops if you want a presta tube.

It's been my experience that Merritt search and rescue sucks.

The riding on iron mtn is SICK, 3300' of vert with a shuttle you can get a car to within a 2 min push of the top.

message iron mtn hardcore if your going to merritt….chris is a builder there and he doesn't work during the summer so he's always down for a ride. He'll give you the grand tour.

Just to add, there are 3 trails off each tower. The left tower is more gnar then the right, that said even the right tower is gnar….there are no blue trails here.

The trail "98" is your safest option as a first run, it's a solid single black with the odd double black rock move. Most of the rock stuff has ride arounds but they are often overgrown and hard to spot.
