Uproute Trail is a short, easy hike in Oregon's Philomath Unit, about 0.6 miles long and rising roughly 250 feet from a low point of 861 feet to a high of 1117 feet. The route is a point-to-point trail, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.56 miles in, with a grade of about 24 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Corvallis show July and August highs in the low 80s with only about three wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the upper 40s and rain on most days. Bikes are allowed on the trail, and the surrounding area has several mountain biking routes within a short distance, including Manscape at 0.1 mile and Shave & A Haircut at 0.2 mile. Baker Creek Upper is a hike about 0.6 mile away.
