Window Trail Extension (MTB) is a mountain biking route in Clear Creek State Forest in Pennsylvania, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The nearest town is Five Points, about 0.7 miles away. The trail is an out-and-back with a total length of about 3.6 miles and a one-way elevation gain of 116 feet. The climb is moderate, with the steepest stretch at about 0.9 miles in, where the grade reaches 7%. The route starts at a low point of about 1,358 feet and peaks at about 1,457 feet. For comfortable riding, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Franklin, PA, show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 74°F, with July the warmest month at about 83°F. That station sits roughly 440 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run a little cooler. Several other mountain biking trails lie close by. Connector Trail (MTB) is about 0.3 miles away, Fisherman's Loop Trail (MTB) about 0.4 miles, and Sripmine Trail and Pipeline Trail each about 0.6 miles.
