The Fort Washington Trail - Flourtown Spur is a short, flat route in Pennsylvania, about 0.2 miles from Valley Green. It is a mountain biking trail and an out-and-back of about 0.3 miles, with a total elevation gain of roughly 28 feet. The climb is barely there. The trail rises from about 145 feet to about 160 feet, and the steepest part comes at about 0.05 miles in, with a grade of about 2 percent. That makes this a low-effort ride, easy to fit in before or after another outing in the area. For comfortable riding, late spring and early fall work well. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Norristown put May highs around 75°F and September highs around 80°F, while July and August average in the upper 80s. The LDA West Loop, Yellow Loop and White Loop all sit about 1.4 miles away, and the climbing area at Dueling Snakes Wall is about 3.2 miles off.
