Divide Trail North is a short, out-and-back mountain biking route in Washington, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The trail is about 2.2 miles long, with a low point of 1,459 feet and a high of 1,647 feet, giving it a one-way elevation gain of 175 feet. It makes an easy addition to a day spent exploring the surrounding network of mountain biking trails. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Olympia show July and August highs around 78°F with only about five wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the mid-40s and rain on roughly 20 days a month. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Waddell Basin West is the closest neighbor at about 0.9 miles, with Larch Mountain East and Rock Candy each about 1.2 miles away. Paddlers can find North Fork Porter Creek about 4.3 miles off.
