An Easy/Intermediate one way loop starting and ending at Phil's trailhead. This is a great introductory ride to the Bend/Phils trail network. It has meandering singletrack climbs, with a few techy rock options, and then on the way down there's the fast and flowy canyon section of Phil's trail.

Great all the way to Voodoo. A few wet spots but nice and grippy dirt. A little bit of snow but not much at Voodoo. Phills down was the same.
