Description
This is a beautiful, fun trail that goes and goes. It's curvy with some minor technical sections, and just keeps coming. It's a great trail for staying cool in the summer heat, and not as often used as some others in the Phil's trail network. Well worth it for a meditative hike. There's a section of Storm King where you come upon so many ferns (not too typical in Bend), that you transcend into another world. Enjoy. Note: Storm King is a way to link singletrack from Skyliners to the Deschutes River Trail
