"PHIL'S WORLD"

Phil's World is about 20 miles of sweetness in Cortez, Colorado. It may be longer by now. They keep adding singletrack and plenty of room remains. This is the best ride in the "4 Corners" area, for my money. While Durango has beautiful hiking and golfing, it's a little bit too vertical for biking (for us elderlies). Phil's World has just enough hard work involved to get the heart pumping well. The "Rib Cage" section is an absolute blast up and down roller coaster hills. There are great views of Cortez, which is just a few miles away, from the "Lemon Head" section. This is a really fun ride for people of all abilities. If you want to ride some more, a trail goes under the highway to "Duck and Cover". This loop will keep you busy for another 5 1/2 miles. The local bicycle shop, Kokopelli Bike & Board in Cortez, has great trail maps. trails.mtbr.com is a good website. The trail is on BLM, Colorado State, and Montezuma County government land (fee area unless the system can be cheated). STAY ON TRAILS AS SOME LAND IS PRIVATE! THANKS.
