Bubble Wrap is a mountain biking climb in Washington, about 15 miles from the town of Yacht Haven. The route is an out-and-back that starts at roughly 670 feet and climbs to a high point of 1,046 feet, with a total gain of 840 feet over the course of the 2.2-mile trip. The climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.15 miles from the start, where the grade reaches 23 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Friday Harbor show July and August highs around 72 to 73°F, with only six to eight wet days a month. That station sits well below the route, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. Several other mountain biking routes lie close by. Swipe Right is about 0.3 miles away, and Bubble Wrap (South West) and Satellite Road are each about half a mile off. For an overnight stay, Sidney Spit Campsite / BC Marine Trail is roughly 9.6 miles away.
