Igo Edge is a short, hard mountain biking climb in Oregon, about 4 miles from the town of Island City. The route is an out-and-back that starts at roughly 3,500 feet and reaches a high point of about 3,520 feet, with a total elevation gain of about 720 feet over the course of the trip. The steepest stretch comes early, with a grade of about 27% at about 0.18 miles from the start. The most comfortable months for riding are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in La Grande show May highs around 68°F and September highs around 77°F, with July and August running hotter, near 86 to 87°F. That station sits about 765 feet lower than the climb, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Several other mountain biking routes sit right next to Igo Edge, including 704 Bamm Bamm and 723 Skills Slalom, each about 0.1 mile away, and 724 Mera Loop at about 0.2 mile. Climbers can find the Concert Hall and Fiddlers Hell areas about 4 miles off.
