Hiking and uphill biking have a new groove at the Jordie Lunn Bike Park with the introduction of the Steam Donkey trail.
The new trail features a winding ascent through stunning scenery as part of the Gravity Zone at the Langford bike park, according to the city.
Steam Donkey winds its way to the top, where hikers and uphill bikers can access several trails in the Gravity Zone.
The park is named for Jordie Lunn, a prominent member of the mountain biking community on Vancouver Island who competed internationally. Lunn was also known for being involved with big-budget films and hosting local competitions.

The new trail opened Feb. 2.
Access is at the new parking lot at 4100 West Shore Pkwy.
