Divide Trail North

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 1.6 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 936 feet, and it rises from a low point of 895 feet to a high of 1,544 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.35 miles, where the grade reaches 37 percent. 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 climb run cooler. Several other mountain biking routes sit close by, including B-7700 about 0.1 mile away, North Rim #1 at 0.3 mile, and Rock Candy East and Rock Candy at 0.4 mile. Paddlers can find North Fork Porter Creek about 4.6 miles off.
