Why Camel's Back and Hulls Gulch Reserves dries this way

Camel's Back and Hulls Gulch Reserves is a mountain bike network in the Boise region of ID, riding on sandy soil that drains fast over terrain that holds water and dries slowly. With little tree cover, sun and wind get to the dirt fast. What really sets the timing here is how quickly that ground gives back a firm, dry surface, not what the day’s forecast says. The WSW-facing aspect gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture, and the gentle terrain, about a 2.1° average grade at 2,881 ft, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm.
