North Ridge Trail is a mountain biking route in Oregon's Siuslaw National Forest, within the Central Coast Ranger District-ODNRA on land managed by the Forest Service. The out-and-back trail runs about 7.5 miles, with a total elevation gain of 3,107 feet. The climb starts near 1,910 feet and reaches a high point of about 3,770 feet, so the round trip is a moderate ride for riders ready to tackle a significant ascent. The route is most comfortable in midsummer. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at a similar elevation show July and August highs around 71 to 72°F with only about three wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the low 40s and rain on most days. The North Ridge-Marys Peak hike starts just 0.1 mile from the trail, and Marys Peak Campground is about 1.7 miles away. Climbers will find the Marys Peak climbing area about 2 miles off, and paddlers can reach Parker Creek, roughly 4.5 miles from the trail.
