Overlook is a short mountain biking ride of about 0.45 miles, rising about 38 feet from a low point of 6,782 feet to a high of 6,833 feet. The climb is gentle, with the steepest stretch at about 0.1 miles in, where the grade reaches roughly 6%. The route sits on the Combs Property Acquisition, city-managed land in Colorado. The most comfortable months for a ride are typically July and August, when highs average in the low 80s and lows in the mid-40s. These figures come from a nearby weather station in Steamboat Springs, which sits at nearly the same elevation as the ride. The Yampa River Core Trail and the Bluffs Loop Trail both start within about 0.1 miles, making it easy to link to a longer ride or a walk. Climbers can find Butcher Knife about 1.2 miles away, and Steamboat Springs KOA offers camping about 3.2 miles out.
