Why Newell Creek Canyon Nature Park dries this way
Newell Creek Canyon Nature Park sits in the Portland & the Gorge, OR area, 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. 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 terrain here is rolling (a 5° average grade at 305 ft) and drains steadily rather than pooling, while the NE-facing aspect catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day.
