Why Galena Lodge dries this way
Galena Lodge sits in the Boise, ID area, on loam soil that drains well over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. 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 7,408 ft, Galena Lodge 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 3.3° on average, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm.
