Huge Ribbon is a mountain biking route in Washington, about 15 miles from the town of Yacht Haven. It's a short out-and-back ride, roughly a mile long, with a total climb of about 420 feet and a high point of 1,262 feet. The route starts and ends at the same elevation, so it works as a quick loop. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Friday Harbor show July and August highs around 72 to 73°F with only six to eight wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-40s and rain on more than half the days. Several other mountain biking routes sit within a mile, including Painless, 90s jank and Organ Donor. For an overnight stay, D'Arcy Island Campground / BC Marine Trail is about 10 miles away.
