Need to Know

There is a water fountain at the pool for a quick refill.

Description

This starts out as a doubletrack heading up the mountain to a reflector, hence the trail name. Just to the left of the reflector starts the singletrack descent which starts out fast then mellows out for a little bit. After the old army tanker trailer, there is a fast descent back down to the public pool/parking area.
