West Loop Trail is a 1.6-mile loop on County of Monroe land in New York, a short and easy outing that stays low on the trail map. It starts and ends at about 276 feet, climbs to a high of 326 feet, and has the least elevation gain of any of the nearby trails, with only 58 feet over the course of the loop. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.93 miles in, with a 11% grade. The trail is an easy way to spend an hour or two on county land, and it pairs naturally with other short walks in the same network. Several trails sit within half a mile, including Green Trail, Ryan's Point Trail and Ridge Trail. The closest trailhead is the one for Green Trail, about 0.4 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Webster run from highs around 77°F in June to about 81°F in July, with snow days dropping to zero from May through September. Winter is cold and snowy, with highs in the mid-30s in January and February and snow on about half the days in those months.
