Our usual trails vary, but in general it's a sandy-type soil here that dries out quickly and is loose and dusty in the summer. More rocky sections than lots of roots. DH rode on the west side of the state and said the trails have many more roots and are much more wet. Higher elevation and forested areas don't get quite as dry. It's hard to generalize, though, as we have such a variety of places to go within a couple hours depending on which direction you head. We've been on two very diverse trails conditions in the same day while riding the Plains of Abraham and Ape Canyon trails near Mt. Saint Helens a couple years ago. Volcanic rock plains to tree-covered forested singletrack. Scablands to densely covered forest...it's a MTB playground here with lots of opportunity to climb.
