Short Stacker Bike is a 2.4-mile loop hike in Minnesota's Superior National Forest, within the Tofte Ranger District. It's a short, easy trail with a low elevation gain of 68 feet, and it's a natural-surface route that bikes can take. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is not accessible. The route loops back to its start, so there's no need to retrace your steps. The climb is gentle, with the steepest stretch at about 1.1 miles. The trail starts at roughly 1,229 feet and peaks at about 1,289 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July averages from a nearby weather station at Lutsen run around 73°F for highs and 54°F for lows. Winters are cold, with January highs averaging 17°F. The trail sits right beside Sugarbush Norwest, a cross-country ski area just 0.1 mile away. Crosscut Bike and Flume Bike are hikes within half a mile. Climbers can find the Temperance River SP (North Shore) about a mile off.
