Warmup Loop Trail [Red] is a short, out-and-back mountain biking route in South Park, Pennsylvania, on county land. The trail is about 0.78 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 180 feet over the round trip. The climb is steepest near the 0.46-mile mark, where the grade reaches about 8 percent, and the high point sits at 1,224 feet. The route is rated hard, and the climb is the main challenge. The trail starts at about 1,201 feet and reaches a low point of 1,163 feet before returning to the start. The short length makes it an easy addition to a longer ride in the area. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Pittsburgh show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 75°F, with July the warmest month at about 83°F. Several other trails sit close by. Gas Line Trail is about 0.1 mile away, and Buffalo Ridge West Trail [White] is about 0.2 mile away. The Drain Trail and Vale of Cashmere Trail are both about 0.3 mile away for hikers.
