Cape Falcon Trail is a short, out-and-back mountain biking route in Oswald West State Park in Oregon, on city-managed land. The trail is about 2 miles long, with a low point of 103 feet and a high of 238 feet, and it gains about 150 feet in elevation over the course of the ride. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Seaside show July and August highs around 65 to 66°F with only about seven wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the low 50s and rain on more than 20 days. Several other trails sit close by. Kramer Memorial Trail is about 0.4 miles away, and Sitka Spruce Trail and Elk Flats Trail are each within about half a mile. Paddlers can head to Short Sand Creek, about 1.5 miles off.
