Description

Prospector is best ridden from the lower part of Uncle Natzy down to Sand Dunes. The first part of the route rolls out initially across a broad ridge and then descends quickly through several carving turns and a few berms to Sand Dunes.

From the intersection, stay left to connect with Backbone or ride the bottom of Sand Dunes.
