Why Iroquoia Heights Conservation Area dries this way
Iroquoia Heights Conservation Area sits in the Hamilton & Dundas Valley, ON, Canada area, on clay soil that holds water over terrain that holds water and dries slowly. Heavy tree cover holds the damp in, so it stays wet longer than the sky overhead would suggest. 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 N-facing aspect keeps the dirt shaded for much of the day, so moisture lingers after rain and snow is slow to clear, and the nearly flat terrain, about a 1.4° average grade at 781 ft, lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up.

How these factors affect drying
SoilClay
Dense clay holds moisture and stays slick the longest. It needs the most drying time before it’s worth riding. The soil type here is classified, but the exact drying speed is modeled from that classification rather than measured directly at this spot.
CanopyDense 100%
Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.
TerrainHolds water
Water tends to pool and linger here rather than running off, so the surface can stay damp well after the weather clears.
