McKenny is a short mountain biking climb in Washington's State Department of Natural Resources land, about a mile from the nearest trail. The route is an out-and-back of roughly 2.3 miles, with a high point of 655 feet and a total elevation gain of 502 feet. That makes it a compact ride with a gentle climb to the top before returning the same way. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Olympia show July and August highs around 78°F with only about five wet days each month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-40s and rain on most days. Several other rides and walks sit close by. The Equine Loop is just 0.2 miles away, and the Mima Falls Tie hike is 0.3 miles off. Mima Falls East, a mountain biking route, is 0.7 miles away. For paddling, Sherman Creek is about 3 miles from the climb.
