Grouse Trail is a short out-and-back mountain biking route in Washington, set at a start point of about 644 feet and reaching a high of about 755 feet over roughly 0.84 miles. The nearest town is Port Crescent, about 17 miles away. The trail is a modest climb. The steepest section comes at about 0.3 miles in, where the grade reaches 18%, and the total gain and loss each run about 267 feet. It's a compact ride, with the low point around 575 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs near 68 to 70°F with only five or six wet days a month. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Several other mountain biking routes lie close by. New K2 is about 0.4 miles away, and Willow and The Last Mile are each about half a mile off. Croutons is roughly 0.9 miles away.
