The Widowmaker refers to the one steep loose climb about halfway up the lunch loop, it's only 50 yards long or so.... it sounds like you are actually at the "Eagles Nest", the highest point you can ride to on the Lunch Loop proper. Looking south from top o' the widowmaker you'd just see a bunch of trees, and another mile or two of climbing.
Looking south from the nest, however, trails below you are The Ribbon and Andy's, and one other unnamed? trail that goes into the NPS no-bike zone.
BTW, don't descend to Lil park if you're all the way up, follow the ridge up to the west to the Eagles Wing, which becomes the Eagles Tail, and then the Eagles Foote. It's rippin fast tech singletrack, dh to parkinglot. The trail I was riding when your derailler exploded.
If you do descend to Lil park, follow the road up a little bit to singletrack on the right; this will drop you steep through the bentonite, past the natural tunnel, and put you at the interesection of the Ribbon and Andy's. Andy's is to the right, will hike-a-bike out tof the canyon beforing descending and eventually reconnecting with Eagles.
The Ribbon is generally shutled from the top of Lil park, but you can ride up it if you like as well.
Anyways,
here is a good map of the area, the map in the OTE book kinda sucks for the Tabbagoochi. It's still not entirely acurate; the map show Eagles deadending, where the foote switchbacks actually start, and the Holly Cross is left out entirely.
