Confirmed from Phillips Creek Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Phillips Creek Trailhead
“Super clean parking lot with a security camera which is awesome.”
“The views at and near the high point of this hike are gorgeous, and I would recommend the trek.”
Very nice hiking trail with many different paths. The trails intersect at multiple points with signs telling you what each pathway leads to. The views at and near the high point of this hike are gorgeous, and I would recommend the trek.
Great hike, great veiw of Krell Hill and Mica peak, but a little muddy
This is a great Trailhead to catch all that the Dishman Conservation area has to offer! Great hiking and awesome views of the surrounding mountains and communities with views of downtown, the Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake areas! Great food options on Dishman-Mica as well.
My goodness, cleanest prettiest parking lot trailhead I have ever seen. I have seen multiple patrol cars stop in and look around, and theybhave a camera and a porta potty.
