Orange Trail is a mountain biking route in the Wissahickon Valley on county land in Pennsylvania, about 6 miles from Norristown. It is a hard trail with no elevation gain, so it is a flat ride rather than a climb. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Norristown show May highs around 75°F and September highs around 80°F, while July peaks near 89°F. The Yellow Trail lies just 0.2 miles away, and the White Trail is about 0.7 miles off. Climbers can find Dueling Snakes Wall and Cleaver Boulder, The about 1.2 miles away.
