Croutons is a mountain biking route in Washington, set on a short out-and-back course with a total climb of 641 feet and a high point of 1,624 feet. The route is about half a mile long and starts at that high point, which also serves as the turnaround. The steepest part comes early, with a grade of 29% at about 0.09 miles in. The nearest town is Port Crescent, about 18 miles away. The most comfortable months for riding are July and August, when typical averages from the Port Angeles airport weather station run from a high of 68 to 70°F and rain falls on only five or six days. That station sits roughly 1,300 feet below the route, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. Several other mountain biking routes lie close by. Willow is about 0.7 miles away, and New K2 and Grouse Trail are each about 0.9 miles away. Sheilds Lake Campsite Trail is about 2.2 miles off.
