Why Burnt Ridge dries this way
Burnt Ridge sits in the Salt Lake City, UT area, on loam soil that drains well 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. The SSE-facing aspect soaks up sun through the middle of the day, which speeds drying and opens the season earlier, and the rolling terrain, about a 5° average grade at 6,129 ft, drains steadily rather than pooling.
