Terrain & soilKlondike Bluffs sits in the Moab, UT area, on sandy soil that drains fast over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. With little tree cover, sun and wind get to the dirt fast. 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 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° average grade at 4,813 ft, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm. Named trails in this network include EKG Trail, Dino Flow Trail and Jurassic Trail.
