New K2 is a short, back-loaded mountain biking route in Washington, about 17 miles from the town of Port Crescent. The climb is an out-and-back of roughly 0.3 miles, with the high point at 676 feet and the low point at 481 feet. The route starts and ends at the high point, so the total gain and loss are each about 195 feet, and the steepest stretch comes early, at about 17% grade. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Port Angeles show July and August highs around 68 to 70°F with only five to six wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-40s and rain on 14 to 17 days. The Last Mile sits just 0.1 mile away, and Grouse Trail and Willow are within a mile. Sheilds Lake Campsite Trail is about 3 miles off.
