Moore Creek Pools is a short mountain biking route in Moore Creek Wilderness Park in California, managed by a regional agency. The route is a 0.3-mile out-and-back with a low point of 690 feet and a high of 768 feet, so the climb is just 57 feet one way. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from the nearby Saint Helena weather station show May and October highs around 78°F, while July and August reach about 89°F. That station sits several hundred feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. The Moore Creek Loop starts just 0.1 mile away, and the Moore Creek hike and Dry Foot trail are both about 0.7 mile off. Climbers can find Mossy Rock roughly 3.5 miles away.
