Cape Keppel Track is a mountain biking route in Washington, about 14 miles from the town of Prevost. The trail is an out-and-back with a total length of 0.8 miles and a round-trip elevation gain of 444 feet, so the one-way climb is about 226 feet. The route is rated easy, with a rolling profile and a steepest grade of about 4% near the start. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from the nearby Friday Harbor airport weather station run to highs around 72 to 73°F in July and August, with fewer wet days than the rest of the year. That station sits about 500 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route tend to run a little cooler. The Streisand Track and the Coast Loop are both within a mile, so riders can easily pair them together. For an overnight stay, Shell Beach Campsite (BCMT) is about 6 miles away.
