Nice flowing directional trail. Typical of the area, with some cool rock ledge sections and embedded rock. All trails at Phil's World are directional (clockwise) for mountain bikes (though not for hikers/equestrians).

One of my favorites @ Phil’s. Yes there is tech for the intermediate level and up, along with some flow and even a few small jumps. It’s the remoteness and diversity that make Lemonhead feel like a taste of adventure. Still working on clearing to “Elbow” feature without dabbing. Gotta do it!

Maybe the trail has changed over the years but to say there’s no tech, as a previous commenter stated, is not true. Relative to the rest of the main loop, this trail has more drops, ruts, and loose rock than the any others. With that said, 10/10 great trail would ride again!

I liked this trail - couple small slabs, some small bumps you can get some air off of if you put the effort forth. Nothing technically challenging but nice and flowy
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
