Bowman Lake Rd.

The second half of our journey on the HPR will take us up on the Meadow lake and Bowman Lake Rds.

This is a popular place for adventure riding and Geo caching. Along this section of road we will pas 13 - 14 lakes and rushing rivers, and there will be several water crossings, should be fun!
The altitude at Bowman Lake is about 6000 feet. 

One particularly rocky and rough part of the trail is named Hells Acre, I am excited to see if the road is complicated or just part of a steep mountain.

There are a few mines up there we can stop to look at, one of the most famous is at the Bowman Lake. Behind the island on one side of the lake is a still standing mine structure.

I also found this website of adventure riders who frequent the sierras. It would be fun to hook up with them for a ride some time. http://www.sierranevadaadventures.com/?p=4790
