1 Road is a cross-country skiing route in Washington, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It is a short, moderate outing of about 2 miles round trip, with a high point of 4,348 feet and a low of 3,821 feet. The climb is steepest near the 0.8-mile mark, with a grade of about 28 percent, and the total elevation gain is 1,263 feet for the round trip. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Rainier Paradise run from highs around 34°F in January and February to about 46°F in October, with lows in the 20s.
