Why Three Sisters (Quaker Mountain) dries this way
Three Sisters (Quaker Mountain) is a mountain bike network in the Adirondacks & Plattsburgh region of NY, riding on loam soil that drains well 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. What really sets the timing here is how quickly that ground gives back a firm, dry surface, not what the day’s forecast says. At 1,545 ft, Three Sisters (Quaker Mountain) rides N-facing ground that keeps the dirt shaded for much of the day, so moisture lingers after rain and snow is slow to clear; the nearly flat grade, around 1.8° on average, lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up.
