Mima Falls West is a mountain biking route in Washington, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources and located about 3.8 miles from the town of Mima. The ride is an out-and-back that starts at roughly 562 feet and climbs to about 1,119 feet, with a total elevation gain of 1,641 feet over the course of the 5.6-mile round trip. The steepest stretch comes at about 2.3 miles in, where the grade reaches 23%. 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 climb run cooler. Lost Valley, a mountain biking route, is about a mile away. The MnM Trail and Mima Falls Tie are both hikes within about 1.7 miles, and Sherman Creek offers canoeing at a similar distance.
