Level Up is a mountain biking route in Washington, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It is an out-and-back ride of about 5 miles, with a high point of 1,265 feet and a low point of 623 feet. The round-trip climb totals about 1,728 feet, and the route passes a steepest stretch of 19% grade at about 1.7 miles in. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 78°F with only about five wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the mid-40s and rain on 20 days a month. That station sits well below the route, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. Several other mountain biking routes lie just 0.1 mile away, including Little Larch Mountain, Forever Ferns and the Little Larch Mountain - Middle Segment. For paddling, Sherman Creek is about 1.9 miles off.
