      I liked the trust loop. It was the final trail for me to complete every trail at Phill’s in three days (minus Hippy loop). “Not that scenic” is relative, and maybe the other reviewer is referring to the start and end with the low scrub brush, but after that it’s similar to other trails, which I would say is also generally the case. True, it’s a relatively flat trail (and less tech thank the blues), but that’s nice for a change, and I found it often fast and it has a good flow to it. Trust goes by quickly and is a great trail to end the day on.

      This trail on the loops around it on the south part are not bad. Just not very scenic. Very beginner. Flowy no hills completely flat. but also not that interesting either. Good for just adding some extra miles on a morning or winter ride.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
