White Trail is a short mountain biking route in the Wissahickon Valley, on county land in Pennsylvania. It is a compact ride of about half a mile round trip, and the whole trip climbs roughly 40 feet from a starting elevation of about 227 feet to a high point of 240 feet. The trail is rated moderate. The climb is steepest at about 8% grade near the start, and the route is an out-and-back. It works well as a quick ride on its own or as a link between other trails in the area. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the sweet spots. Typical averages from the nearby Norristown weather station run from highs around 75°F in May to about 80°F in September, with October cooling to around 68°F. Orange Trail lies about 0.2 miles away. Climbers can find Dueling Snakes Wall and Cleaver Boulder about half a mile off, and Yellow Trail is about 0.6 miles away.
