### 5/5 — Great app for trail status

*2026-02-05*

Super helpful when going to a new area to see what the moisture percentage is (I know generally that 20-30% and above is too wet to ride). Love that it tells the last 3 days of inches of rain too. Trail forks, Strava and Use Dry Trails =  top Mountain biking apps.
