Lookout Saddle Tie is a short, easy mountain biking route in Oregon, about 0.4 miles long and roughly 60 feet of elevation gain one way. It is an out-and-back, with the high point at about 1,369 feet and the low point at about 1,289 feet. The steepest stretch comes early, at about 0.13 miles in, with a 7% grade. The nearest town is Keas Corner, about 3.7 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. 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 brings highs in the upper 40s and rain on most days. That station sits well below the route, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. Several other rides and hikes sit close by. Lunch Counter is about 0.3 miles away, Trail of Woe about 0.7 miles, and D'yer Mak'er about 0.9 miles. For paddling, Soap Creek is about 5.8 miles away.
