Porter is a short mountain biking route in Washington, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The trip covers about 1.3 miles of out-and-back trail, with the high point at about 1,310 feet and the low at about 1,143 feet. The route gains and loses roughly 313 feet in total, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.4 miles in, with a grade of about 15%. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from the Elma weather station, about 9 miles away, put July highs near 78°F with only about six wet days. That station sits about 1,200 feet lower, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Porter Trail lies about half a mile away, and C-2710 and C-2714 are both within about 2 miles. Porter Tie Trail is a hiking option about 2.2 miles off.
