Why Hobble Creek dries this way
Hobble Creek sits in the Salt Lake City, UT 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. The NNE-facing aspect keeps the dirt shaded for much of the day, so moisture lingers after rain and snow is slow to clear, and the gentle terrain, about a 3.5° average grade at 6,490 ft, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm.
