We rode this trail (myself, wife and 8 year old) for the first time yesterday (24 July, 2011). We started from the
Jamestown S'Klallam tribal center in Blyn with the intention of riding for a total of 30 miles. Overall I was impressed with the trail and variety of scenery. My only complaint was the lack of signs on the trail to direct you. You ride on bike paths and low traffic roads (in Sequim) and it's not always obvious which direction you need to go. Fortunately we met up with a group that had cycled the trail before and followed them. With adequate signage this would easily be a 5 star trail.

I'm new to Rail to Trail rides so I'm not sure of the Rating system. I gave it a 4 because I liked it, my wife liked it and we plan to return often. East of Sequim the trail is hilly but not overly so. West of Sequim it was flat as far as we went (We did not make it to Port Angeles.)
The Map provided here is off a bit when going through Sequim but still gets you thru town. Note that on the day we went there were signs posted with arrows pointing the way. They are not identified as Olympic Discovery but are posted where the trail becomes city streets. DO NOT follow them. Keep to the map and you will be fine.
The ponds at Carrie Blake park in Sequim are worth a look-see and make for a great lunch stop if you brought your own food. Otherwise the town has plenty of spots to grab a bite.
We'll be back (soon)!
