Why Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area dries this way
Terrain & soilSpur Cross Ranch Conservation Area sits in the Phoenix & Scottsdale, AZ area, on rocky clay 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. At 2,366 ft, Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area rides W-facing ground that gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture; the rolling grade, around 5.2° on average, drains steadily rather than pooling.
