Description

This is a beautiful, fun, flowy 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 ridden as some others in the Phil's trail network, as it is a good push if you ride from town. Well worth it for a meditative ride.

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 Skyliner to the Deschutes River Trail
