Why Moraine State Park dries this way
Moraine State Park is a mountain bike network in the Pittsburgh & Western PA region of PA, riding on loam soil that drains well over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. Heavy tree cover holds the damp in, so it stays wet longer than the sky overhead would suggest. 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 terrain here is gentle (a 3° average grade at 1,549 ft) and drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm, while the SE-facing aspect catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day.
