Stone King Play Area is a short, hard mountain biking route in Curt Gowdy State Park in Wyoming, managed by State Park and Recreation. The ride is just over a fifth of a mile long, with a total elevation gain of 28 feet and a total loss of 39 feet. The climb is steepest at about 0.05 miles from the start, with a grade of about 2 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 81°F and lows near 52°F, while winter highs stay in the upper 30s. That station sits roughly 950 feet lower than the play area, so temperatures here run cooler. The play area sits among several other mountain biking spots. Gold Standard is about 0.1 mile away, and Igneoramous and Gold Watch are each about 0.2 mile off. Climbers can find Campjack Rocks about 1.1 miles away.
