Lost Valley is a short mountain biking route in Washington, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits about 0.3 miles from the nearest town, with the low point of the ride at 1,060 feet and the high at 1,168 feet. The out-and-back trip is about half a mile long, with a total climb of 119 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Olympia 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 roughly 20 days a month. That station sits well below the route, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. Mima Falls West is just 0.1 mile away, and McKenny is about 0.3 mile off. For paddling, Sherman Creek and the MnM Trail are both about 0.9 mile away.
