        Phil’s Trail is a complex of intersecting trails of varying degrees of difficulty offering hundreds of miles of sweet singletrack. It is THE local’s choice for mountain biking. The trailhead is still just minutes from downtown Bend, but the opportunities for exploration are endless, as riders span out west toward Mt. Bachelor. The system reaches its apex at Swampy Sno-Park on the Cascade Lakes Highway. - See more at: http://www.visitbend.com/blog/2010/08/12/must-do-mountain-biking-phils-trail/#sthash.8NDG6r6M.dpuf
