Review: Ride in the trees, some so close my 660mm handlebars didn't fit. Tech is pretty easy and the flow was great. Been 8 years so it's been rerouted since then.

Similar Trail: North Umpqua Trail, McKenzie river Trail

Review: Love it! I really want one of these in my back yard.., guess Im going to have to move- The directions above are pretty outdated as these trails have been re-routed and don’t really utilize any of the old roads anymore. The trailhead now has a nice map/kiosk and all the trails leaving the parking lot are clearly marked and don’t criss-cross each other until farther up the mountain. All intersections are clearly marked with large 6x6 posts with a # carved in them. That intersection # corresponds with all the newer maps of the trails in the area. Fantastic trails and a lot of fun! Unlike Phil’s World in Cortez these trails are not direction specific so keeping a ‘heads up’ for oncoming traffic is essential. Most riders I talked with seemed to use Phil’s Trail to climb the hill and the others to descend, I only encountered one rider coming down Phil‘s as I went up on a busy Saturday. Phil’s trail all the way up to the Heli-pad is quite a climb but the run back down the ‘Whoops’ is well worth it.

Review: Fun network. Whoops is a blast, the rest is fast and flowy with some technical. Many options for loops of varied distances. Can be busy.

Review: Rode this trail on a sunny, hot day - but good shade. Loop patterns allow great flexibility on how far you wanna go. Great terrain, esp. for beginners or just older folks like me who want a little challenge. Thanks Phil, whomever you are!

Review: This is a great network of single track trails with lots of easy, well maintained sections and a few technical sections. There are lots of trails and options close to town.

Review: This is a loop that I will do if I only have a short amount of time in the schedule... Great flow with the trail, fun downhill, fairly easy to get your cardio going.

Similar Trail: Anything in Phil's network... there are too many trails in the network that I would recommend... I wouldn't say it is the easiest nor would I say it is difficult. The up hills are up hill, the down hills are just that, downhill without too many major te
