Why Del Valle Regional Park dries this way
Del Valle Regional Park is a mountain bike network in the Bay Area region of CA, riding 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. 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 4.1° average grade at 1,014 ft, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm. Maquire Peaks Loop, Maguire Peak Trail and Flag Hill Loop Trail are among the named trails our map data covers here.
