Switchbacks, the name says it all, sandy switchbacks abound... few minor rocky sections, bit of climb but not too bad...nAs it crests the hill you have a choice, A Line directly over the hill and down some rocky rollers onto a straight path down across the fire access road to Home Run, OR B Line of easy winding single track to it's own downhill to Home Run (you can see Return to Sender from the B Line)
