      This is now a ONE-WAY trail. Even though not indicated on Trailforks, there are big "DO NOT ENTER" signs at all the trail junctions running east. You cannot get back to Phil's TH on this trail.

      Bowhead Reach goes. Blue.
      Mostly green but has an easy blue tech spot (stay left when you see the boulders) then shortly after has a boulder garden that won’t go at the top (high centering) but has a ride around on the left at that point you can faintly see. Some put trees back in the way to cut off the ride around, but you can move them aside as needed.
      Fun climbing trail from Phil’s to get to the whoops

      In pretty good shape. Very wet and marshy sections after MTB intersection. Once you start climbing again, trail is in great shape and dry.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
