Satellite Road is a short, easy mountain biking route in Washington, about 14 miles from the town of Yacht Haven. The ride is an out-and-back of roughly 0.3 miles, with a total climb of about 16 feet and a high point of 692 feet. The route is nearly flat, so it works well as a quick stop or a warm-up before heading to other trails in the area. 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 only six to eight wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-40s and rain on about 16 days. Several other mountain biking spots sit within a mile, including Swipe Right, North Ridge DH and Bubble Wrap. For an overnight stay, Sidney Spit Campsite / BC Marine Trail is about 9 miles away.
