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.

      One of my favourites in the valley. Usually very quiet and good flow halfway down. Top half is somewhat techy and loads of fun.
      Overall a must do! (Very soft black)

      Done today around noon and was pretty dry, good quick trail.

      Sweet trail. Wouldn’t call it a black diamond. Maybe a dark blue which is only to say that I don’t feel people should be intimidated by it’s black diamon rating. It’s great. Shred that

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
