Why Santa Teresa County Park dries this way
Santa Teresa County Park sits in the Bay Area, CA 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 terrain here is gentle (a 4.9° average grade at 505 ft) and drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm, while the WNW-facing aspect gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture. Trails on the map here include Mine Trail, Stile Ranch and Bernal Hill.
