The Deschutes National Forest has posted updated information on trail openings and closures in the Phil’s Trail area west of Bend.

Road work in the area is complete on Forest Roads 4610 and 4601-300, allowing the Forest Service to reopen those roads for public use.

Forest Roads 4601-310, 320 and 322 are still undergoing improvements and remain closed to all motorized use seven days a week.

Road improvements in the area include drainage, road shaping, and the addition of cinder to the road surface.
