Rocky Mountain Ridge

Rocky Mountain Ridge is a short mountain biking route in Washington, about 20 miles from the town of Prevost. It's an out-and-back ride of roughly 0.34 miles, with a total climb of about 250 feet and a high point of about 1,630 feet. The climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.08 miles from the start, where the grade reaches about 13 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Friday Harbor show July and August highs around 72 to 73°F with lows near 50°F and the fewest wet days of the year. That station sits well below the route, so temperatures on the ridge run cooler. Several other mountain biking routes lie close by. D Road is about 0.1 mile away, Chicken Run I and T Road are each about 0.2 mile away, and Danilyzer is about 0.3 mile away.
