Mainline Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in Paradise Valley Conservation Area, a regional agency land unit in Washington. The trail is an out-and-back, about 3.4 miles long, with a total climb of 409 feet and a steepest grade of about 10% near the start. The one-way elevation gain is 133 feet, so the round trip adds up to about 409 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Monroe show July and August highs in the mid-70s with only six or seven wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the low 40s and rain on most days. The trail sits close to several hiking routes, with Cascara Trail, Forest Ridge Trail and the Lloyd Trail Detour all about 0.3 miles away. Paddlers can find Bear Creek about 5.4 miles off.
