Trolley Trail is a mountain biking route in Fairmount Park in Pennsylvania, a flat, easy ride that starts and ends at nearly the same elevation. The climb is negligible, with the high point at 65 feet and the low at 63 feet, so the trail works well as a short, low-effort outing or a warm-up before heading to one of the other mountain biking spots in the area. The most comfortable months for riding are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 76°F and September highs around 80°F, with July peaking near 89°F and January highs around 42°F. The trail sits among several other mountain biking routes, including Three Dollar Bill, Rose and Quarry Loop, all about 0.1 mile away. Climbers can find Martin Luther King Drive Twin Bridges about 0.6 mile off.
