Reclaimer is downhill trail that starts off steep and combines a few short flat sections that you can coast through when carrying your speed, flowing all the way to the bottom. The first few corners are technical and lined with rocks. Switchbacks are the name of the game at the beginning, with the lower part of Reclaimer becoming windier and less elevated. The trail ends at the Grassi Lakes parking lot.
