Fern Gully is a short out-and-back mountain biking route in Washington, about half a mile long, with a total elevation gain of 267 feet. The climb starts steep, with a 16% grade on the first 0.1 miles, before easing off. The high point is 657 feet, and the trail returns to the starting elevation of 404 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Port Angeles show July and August highs around 68 to 70°F, with only five to six wet days a month. That station sits about 370 feet lower than the route, so temperatures up high run cooler. Clarkson Entrace is the closest nearby ride, about 0.2 miles away, and Piercing Tank Armor and Blueballs are within half a mile. Steve French is about 0.6 miles away.
