Great trail area for mountain biking. We were walking, so there was some hopping on and off the trail for bikes. However, there was plenty of room to do so.

Easy to navigate. Well marked trails. It was hot and dusty. At the end there was a little Mogul park that was fun too.

Really great trails, although they can get a bit dusty at times. PLEASE keep your E-Bike/Pedal Assist off these trails. It is posted at every sign and intersection that they are NOT allowed.

While this trail system may not be as technical as other networks (Such as in BC, etc.) there is still lots of fun to be had. Due to the lack of elevation gain on rides you can easily hammer out a 25-35km route in a few hours and take in some amazing views. Lots of trails so you can create an awesome loop and not ride the same trails. Skills area is fantastic as is the parking lot and facilities. Trail heads and crossings are super well marked. If you are into gravel riding you could probably ride most of these trails on a gravel bike but probably not as much fun as on a mountain bike. Family and beginner friendly and I cant wait to return!

Great trails for everyone.

Review №11

The jump park is nice but all other trails are way to long with basically no features. This is especially true at phils trailhead, where accessing more than a few trails right there js a massive pain, and the trails arent nearly fun or interesting enough to warrant doing the boring flat trails to them. Not worth it.

Very nice selection of mtb trails. Mainly Blue and Green with a few Black trails further out. Easy access from town for quick rides. Even when it is crowded you can always find a trail to yourself.

Starting to have crowding issues so make sure you are up to speed on trail etiquette so you dont get hurt or mean mugged by some judgy riders. Its an amazing trail system with flowy climbing and safe but exciting payoff on the down.

Review №25

The hub of the Bend trail system. It all starts here. Named after trail pioneer Phil Mcglassen this is the starting point for many rides, in particular family oriented rides. Tons of parking. Can be crowded but the one way trails make it not as noticable

Review №26

We all know about it. Awesome trails. Not for beginners or really for novices. If you show up here ride seriously the trail and other riders demand it. Not a joke! Yeah, Im not local but ride here three or four times a year.

What a truly great place. Quite possibly the best trail system we’ve found anywhere. We love finding new places to walk when we come to Bend and this is a keeper! It’s a mountain bike riders mecca but great for walkers and trail runners too.There’s plenty of parking and decent toilet facilities alongside a fun kids bike bumps area. We did one trail which was really well marked. We didn’t download the map as we snapped a pic of the map at the car park to take with us.We’ll be back!

Review №37

Clean bathroom and lots of parking. Still fills up fast on nice days but the number of trails that leave from this one trailhead makes it a hub for mountain bikers and hikers.

Review №38

Plenty of parking in the area. Toilets and pump track. There is some signage to get you started. Look for the trail signs to get yourself aligned with the map and away you go. Plenty of options from this point. Kudos to Bend for the hours put into these trails.

Great trails. I went early morning (camped off on a dirt road about a half mile up the road) so didnt experience the crowds everyone mentions. In fact, I only saw a couple people once I got on the trail. The one-way trail is great, too. Bathrooms were clean.

Jo
Review №41

The place to go when visiting Bend, family friendly and conects to all other trails in the area so you can get a 10 mile ride or 100mile ride without ever doing the same trail twice

MTB essential stop. One of the best places in the PNW to go. Best signage out there is the no-ebike signs. People respect it too.

Phils trails are absolutley amazing... long easy gradual up with just enough slope to provide a great downhill run. Dont forget to climb to the lower and upper whoops trails.... they are the most fun you can have with your clothes on

Mtn. Biking meca. Most trails are fast and flowing, not steep. Really fun. And my boys like the jump lines at the trailhead, and now they are ready to enjoy the upper slalom course.

It is probably good that this is reported as closed, because it simply is NOT the Phils Trailhead anyway. Instead search for Phils Trailhead Bathroom to find the real Phils starting location location.
