Dutch Miller Gap Trail is a mountain biking route in the Snoqualmie Ranger District of Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in Washington, on Forest Service land. It is rated hard and runs 4.29 miles one way, gaining about 390 feet in that direction. The ride is an out-and-back of roughly 8.6 miles round trip. Elevation stays between about 1,400 and 1,800 feet, so the climbing is modest for a route with a hard rating. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. At the Cedar Lake weather station nearby, July and August typically average highs around 70°F with only eight or nine wet days a month. Dingford Creek is just 0.1 mile away and Green Ridge Trail about 1.2 miles off, both for hiking. Middle Fork Campground and the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River, a canoeing spot, lie within about 6 miles.
