Head up and east on Baden Powell trail until you exit the forest to a wider dirt road just above Mosquito creek.
At the wooden signpost "Skyline Trail" take a left and up on the rocky steep single track.
Keep going straight up Skyline until reaching a big clearing at the bottom of The Cut ski run and the Screaming Eagle chairlift.
From the chairlift head east and up on the wide dirt road for about 1 km, take a right at the T, and after 200 meters take right again at Mountain Highway. Run down Mountain Highway for a few km.
Just after you pass the quarry on your left you will see a wooden signpost "Peer Gynt" on your right - Take a right.
Run down Peer Gynt for a few minutes and you will end up at the 6th switchback of Mountain Highway.
Go left and down on Mountain Highway for 50 meters and you will see a wooden signpost "Executioner" on your right.
Take a right and down Executioner, keeping left - right - left and the net intersections with the uphill bike trails.
You will be merging onto Dreamweaver trail, and after a few minutes you will intersect with Baden Powell.
Take a right on Baden Powell and follow it west, crossing the Mosquito creek bridge.
After crossing, at the second switchback by a driveway exit Baden Powell and head south and down along the paved road and the pink gate at Skyline Drive.
Continue north-west along the wide Powerline trail, under the powerlines, all the way to the Grouse parking lot.
Head down Nancy Green way back to Cleveland Dam.
