Sooke Mountain Park Road

Sooke Mountain Park Road is a mountain biking route in Washington, about 20 miles from the town of Port Crescent. The climb is short and rolling, with a total of about 496 feet of gain and loss over 2.5 miles of out-and-back riding. The highest point on the route is about 1,417 feet, and the road starts at that elevation, so riders don't need to climb from a lower point. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. At a weather station about 24 miles away in Port Angeles, typical July and August highs reach the upper 60s and 70s, with only five or six wet days a month. That station sits roughly 1,100 feet below the route, so expect cooler temperatures on the road. The Sheilds Lake Campsite Trail is just 0.3 miles away. Empress Mountain Trail and Croutons are both within about 2.5 miles, and Willow is about 3 miles off.
