Upper Elkspur is a short mountain biking route in Washington, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources and located about 0.45 miles from the nearest town. The ride is an out-and-back of about 0.9 miles, with a low point at 1,503 feet and a high of 1,528 feet. The climb is back-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.29 miles in, where the grade reaches 6 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Glenoma show July and August highs around 79 to 80°F with lows near 50°F, and the station sits roughly 700 feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. The ADA Trail is about 0.4 miles away. Mainline and Anvil Loop are both within about 3 miles for more mountain biking, and Big Creek Campground is about 5.7 miles off.
