Jim Slagle Loop Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in Sandy River Park, a city-managed park in Oregon. The trail is an out-and-back that covers about a mile of riding, with a total elevation gain of 229 feet from the low point at 568 feet to the high at 714 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.38 miles in, with a 13% grade. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs in the upper 70s with only five or six wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the low to mid 40s and rain on most days. The Sandy River Trail and Tickle Creek Trail are both within a mile, and Deep Creek offers canoeing about 4 miles away. Climbers can find Hardscrabble Wall roughly 9 miles off.
