As of 6/11/2022 Moose Puddle is closed. The sign at the top of the trail states that it's temporarily closed for construction due to heavy equipment in use.

Good place to practice flat turns. The trail does not flow well, but there are some fast sections here and there. I think the 3 out of 5 stars is a perfect rating for this trail.

Olympic Trail to Moose Puddle yesterday - great ride, amazing views at the top. Link to BLT for a fun easy downhill, and stop by the Olympic aerial pool to watch some amazing ski jump acrobatics.

This is an awesome trail with stunning views. Uphill but mellow grade and nothing technical.

This is a good challenging uphill without being overly brutal. Great way to access many other trails and it is nice that its shaded most of the way.

As straight up climbs go, this one is as nice as you’ll find. The grade isn’t bad and mostly shade, but if you’re coming from sea level, you’re probably going to sucking air all the way up. Stay hydrated too.

Wouldn’t call a slog, it’s pretty gradual and smooth. Easy climbing.

A nice downhill ride with sections going through the pines. I usually encounter hikers and dogs coming up this trail so a courtesy bell is helpful.

Looks like a fun trail with switch backs, etc. but it was just okay for me. Not very many built up burms, no jumps, and it doesn’t flow great. It was pretty coming down through the pines though. I’d rate this trail a 3.5 for those looking for a fun down hill trail.

It is an uphill slog. Not for the faint of heart.

Worth noting that the gate to the UOP closes usually around 8pm! You can park outside the gate and pedal in, but if you're doing an afterwork pedal - don't get locked in!
