Lost Valley is a mountain biking area in Washington managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits at nearly the same elevation, with the low point at 866 feet and the high at 871 feet, so there is no climb to speak of here. 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. Several other spots are close by. Sherman Creek, a canoeing route, is about 0.7 miles away, and the McKenny and Greenline mountain biking trails are each within about a mile. Little Larch Mountain - Last Wooded Section Segment, a hike, is about 1.7 miles off.
