Soil and terrain at Bear's Best

Bear's Best is a mountain bike trail network in Nevada. The soil is very rocky sandy and drains very fast. With little tree cover, the ground gets plenty of sun and wind. The terrain averages a 1.4° slope at 3,179 ft and mainly faces NW. Its nearly flat slopes can hold water in flat stretches.

How these factors affect drying

SoilVery rocky sandy

About 72% of this ground is rock fragments, so water runs through it faster than the soil type alone suggests. It dries quicker than plain sandy. The soil type here is classified, but the exact drying speed is modeled from that classification rather than measured directly at this spot.

CanopyOpen 0%

Little tree cover means full sun and wind, so these trails are among the fastest to rebound after rain.

TerrainHolds water

Water tends to pool and linger here rather than running off, so the surface can stay damp well after the weather clears.
