Fast Downhill, although 2-way. Be cautious of uphill riders.

Gets pretty dusty through the Manzanita as the season progresses.

      Bowhead Reach goes. Blue.
      Lasher goes. Black due to the dropping twisting tight tree sections.

      Not worth the climb. There are zero Whoops on the upper. Just do the lower twice.

      Much better than lower whoops if you want flow and speed. This should be downhill only or at least warn climbers as there are many blind turns. Climb the fire road or find the secret Singletrack to climb. Don’t ruin the fun.
