Once Upon A Time is a short, easy mountain biking ride in Henrys Ridge Open Space, a county-managed open space unit in Washington. The route starts at a low point of about 610 feet and climbs to a high of about 671 feet over roughly 1.4 miles, with a total of about 178 feet of gain and loss on an out-and-back trip. The steepest section is near the start, with a grade of about 6%. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride.
