Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness is Tulsa's signature ride: a dense web of rocky, rooty singletrack on the wooded bluffs directly above the Arkansas River, minutes from downtown. The sandstone ledges drain quickly but the clay between them holds water, so the system rides very differently one day after rain than three days after — exactly the swing this tool tracks.

Right now 97 of 97 featured Tulsa trails are reading soft or too muddy to ride. Tulsa is mostly loam soil, which drains at a moderate pace, so after a storm some trails firm up within a day while others stay greasy.
