Sundance is a short mountain biking route in California, about 2.8 miles from the town of Lakeview. It's a flat, easy ride of roughly 0.34 miles round trip, with a low point at 6,887 feet and a high at 6,926 feet. The climb is barely noticeable, with a total gain of about 75 feet one way and a steepest grade of about 5% early on. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from the nearby Sagehen Creek weather station show July highs around 80°F with lows near 37°F, and that station sits about 590 feet lower than the route's high point, so temperatures on the trail run a little cooler. Prosser Hill, a climbing area, is just 0.1 mile away. The True Grit and South Euer Valley Road mountain biking routes are each about 0.3 mile off. Donner Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 3 miles away.
