Great Technical Trail Linking Wild Horse To Lower Hawes Trails (Saguaro and Mine trails). Some tight corners and steep climbs but 100% Rideable.

      Bowhead Reach goes. There’s a few narrow places on the bench cuts but the outer edges are fairly solid. I wouldn’t ride it solo just in case, but definitely worth it if you have a two wheeler with ya.

      Great section of trail. Not sure why the black rating, maybe the physical due to lots of ups and downs? Seemed to ride the same in both directions. Tread tech is def no more than blue. Fun way to connect loops on both ends of the network.

      Rode for the first time today, east to west. Great trail! Lots of tight turns and some fun downhills, climbs aren't bad at all. Nice views. I wouldn't rate black, solid blue in my opinion. Looking forward to riding again.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
