Why Brushy Peak dries this way

Brushy Peak sits in the Bay Area, CA area, on sandy soil that drains fast over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. With little tree cover, sun and wind get to the dirt fast. Whether it’s worth riding comes down to how that ground sheds and holds water after rain. That’s exactly what Loam tracks, hour by hour. At 850 ft, Brushy Peak rides SSE-facing ground that soaks up sun through the middle of the day, which speeds drying and opens the season earlier; the gentle grade, around 4.6° on average, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm. Brushy Peak Loop Trail, Side Loop Trail and Laughlin Loop Trail are among the named trails our map data covers here.
