Mohawk is a mountain biking climb of about 1.2 miles out and back, rising from a low point of 1,485 feet to a high of 1,765 feet. The route is rated hard, and the total gain is 648 feet, which makes it a short but steep ride. The climb starts with a steep grade of 14%, which comes at the very beginning of the route. That drop off quickly, so the rest of the ride is more gradual. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July and August highs reach about 73°F with only around six wet days a month, based on averages from a nearby weather station. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. The Waterfall trail (Gnargus) and Cougar Ridge Trail are both within a mile, and Rufus Creek Trail is about a mile away. For an overnight stay, Larrabee State Park Campground lies about 6 miles off.
