Fecal Undertow is a short, low-elevation mountain biking route in Washington, about 15 miles from the town of Port Crescent. The trail is an out-and-back that gains about 150 feet of elevation over roughly 0.4 miles, with the high point at about 816 feet and the low point at about 742 feet. The climb is quick, with the steepest stretch at about 0.05 miles in from the start, where the grade reaches about 8%. The trail is short enough to fit into a longer ride or a brief stop in the area. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. A nearby weather station at Port Angeles records typical July and August highs around 68 to 70°F with only five to six wet days a month, while winter months typically see highs in the mid-40s and rain on more than half the days. Several other mountain biking spots sit within a short distance. Steve French, Bladerunner and Lucifer's Crank are each about 0.1 miles away, and Piercing Tank Armor is about 0.2 miles off.
