Skidder Row is a short, steady climb in L.L. "Stub" Stewart State Park in Oregon, on city-managed land. The route is an out-and-back of about 0.7 miles, with a total elevation gain of 224 feet, and it sits within the park's network of mountain biking trails. The climb starts at about 1,264 feet and reaches a high point of 1,271 feet, with the steepest stretch at the beginning, around 6 percent grade. The route is short enough to fit easily into a longer day on the park's trails. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Vernonia show July and August highs in the upper 70s with only about four wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-40s and rain on 20 days a month. Unfit Settlement View Trail is just 0.1 mile away, and Lasso Loop is a hike 0.2 mile off. Peavey Hook Bridleway and Swing Donkey Trail are both about 0.3 mile away.
