Steve French is a short mountain biking climb in Washington, rising from about 800 feet to about 908 feet on a 0.36-mile out-and-back route. The climb is quick, with a total gain of 167 feet, and it reaches its steepest point at about 19% grade within the first tenth of a mile. The nearest town is Port Crescent, about 15 miles away. The trail sits among a cluster of other rides, so it works well as a single short segment or as part of a longer outing. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Port Angeles put July and August highs in the upper 60s to low 70s, with only five to six wet days a month, while winter months see highs in the mid 40s and rain on 17 days. Several other named rides lie within a few tenths of a mile. Fecal Undertow and Bladerunner are each about 0.1 mile away, and Piercing Tank Armor and Lucifer's Crank are each about 0.2 mile away.
