North Rim #2 is a mountain biking route in Washington, on land managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It starts at an elevation of about 1,741 feet and reaches a high point of about 1,798 feet. The route is an out-and-back that is roughly 6 miles long, with a total climb of about 812 feet. The climb is moderate, with the steepest part around mile 2.8, where the grade reaches about 30%. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs in the upper 70s °F in July and August, with only about five wet days a month. That station sits well below the route, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. North Rim #1 and the Loki Trail are both about 0.3 miles away. The BioChar Climbing Trail is about 1.4 miles off, and North Fork Porter Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 2.9 miles away.
