Shock Treatment

Shock Treatment is a short, flat mountain biking route in Washington, about 14 miles from the town of Yacht Haven. The climb is only about 10 feet, and the route is an out-and-back that starts and ends at roughly 470 feet, with a high point of 471 feet. The whole trip is under half a mile, so it works 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 more than half the days. Several other mountain biking routes sit within a short distance. All Dressed and Crossover are each about 0.2 miles away, and Green Ribbon is about 0.3 miles off. For an overnight stay, D'Arcy Island Campground / BC Marine Trail is about 9 miles away.
