Round Top Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in Duff Park in Pennsylvania, about half a mile from the park's center. The trail is an out-and-back that starts at roughly 1,200 feet and climbs to about 1,370 feet, with a total gain of 363 feet over the course of the round trip. The climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.11 miles from the start, where the grade reaches 20 percent. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 74°F and September highs around 77°F, with July the warmest month at about 86°F. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. Several other trails start close by. Bloodroot Trail is about 0.1 mile away, and Violet Trail, Forbes Trail and Wake Robin Trail are each about 0.2 mile off.
