Storm King is a short, moderate mountain biking climb in Oregon's Deschutes National Forest, within the Bend/Fort Rock Ranger District and managed by the Forest Service. The route is an out-and-back that covers about a mile, with a low point of 4,535 feet and a high of 4,561 feet. It rises roughly 119 feet on the way up and drops the same on the way back, and the steepest part comes at about 0.22 miles, with a grade of about 3 percent. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Sunriver, about 6.5 miles away, put July highs around 84°F and September highs around 76°F, with lows in the low 40s. That station sits roughly 380 feet lower than the ride's high point, so temperatures up here run a little cooler. Other rides close by include Tiddly Winks, about 0.9 miles away, and Funner, about 1.2 miles away. Hikers can head to Larsen, about 1.1 miles off, or Funner (Cowbell), about 1.6 miles away.
