Terrain & soilTokul (Seattle & Snoqualmie, WA) rides 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. Loam reads that exact ground against live weather, rather than leaning on a regional forecast that can’t tell you what the dirt is doing. The terrain here is gentle (a 4.2° average grade at 551 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.

How these factors affect drying
SoilLoam
Loam balances drainage with water retention, so it typically takes a day or two to dry after meaningful rain.
CanopyDense 70%
Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.
TerrainModerate
Terrain here drains at a moderate pace. It neither sheds nor holds water strongly.
