North Rim #1 DH is a short mountain biking route in Washington, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits about a quarter mile from the North Rim #1 trail, which makes it an easy addition to a ride on that route. The climb is a front-loaded out-and-back, about half a mile long, with a total gain of 187 feet. The steepest part comes early, around 14% grade, and the route reaches a high point of about 1,497 feet before returning to the starting elevation of roughly 1,396 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Elma show July and August highs in the upper 70s with only six to seven wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the upper 40s and rain on most days. Nearby, North Rim #1 and North Rim #2 are both within about half a mile. The Loki Trail and BioChar Climbing Trail are also close by for hikers.
