Phil's World

The Phil's World Trail system is part of the Cortez Special Recreation Management Area (SRMA) with an emphasis on non-motorized trail opportunities. There are 15 miles of designated non-motorized trails on BLM (27 miles including adjacent State Lands under lease by Southwest Colorado Cycling Assn) and 13 miles of designated OHV trails on BLM. The Phil's World area is relatively flat, comprised of rolling mesa tops bisected by small but scenic canyons. The non-motorized trails are best described as 'flow trails' with low to moderate technicality. The trails are used intensively by mountain bikers, but open to other non-motorized users as well. Mountain bike use is limited to clockwise travel to reduce social congestion. The motorized trails are relatively flat and easy to navigate as well.
