The Narrow is a short, easy mountain biking route in New York, about 0.17 miles from the start point. It's an out-and-back with a total length of about 0.34 miles and a total climb of about 48 feet, so it's a quick ride that fits easily into a longer day on the trail network. The route is back-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.05 miles in, where the grade reaches about 3%. The high point is about 520 feet, and the low point is about 501 feet, so the climb is minimal. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride.
