Why Crockett Hills dries this way
Terrain & soilCrockett Hills (Bay Area, CA) rides on loam soil that drains well over terrain that sheds water and dries quickly. With little tree cover, sun and wind get to the dirt fast. 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 rolling (a 7.2° average grade at 512 ft) and drains steadily rather than pooling, while the WNW-facing aspect gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture. Named trails in this network include Soaring Eagle Trail, Sugar City Trail and Edwards Loop Trail.

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.
CanopyOpen 9%
Little tree cover means full sun and wind, so these trails are among the fastest to rebound after rain.
TerrainSheds water
Water runs off this terrain rather than pooling, which helps the surface dry out after rain.
