Soil and terrain at Bobsled
Bobsled is a mountain bike trail network in Salt Lake City, UT. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as loam. Dense tree cover can reduce sun and wind exposure, slowing drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 7,605 ft, an average terrain slope of 11.5° and a predominant NW-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Uncle Effer Trail, Grandview Peak Trail and North Canyon Trail. Loam models conditions across the network; individual trails and constructed surfaces can differ from these environmental inputs. Official closures and conditions on the ground take priority.
How these factors affect drying
SoilLoam
Loam combines drainage with water retention. Soil type alone does not establish how long this network takes to dry. Drying behavior is modeled from the soil classification, not measured directly on the trail.
CanopyDense 66%
Dense tree cover can reduce sunlight and wind at ground level, slowing drying. Its effect depends on weather and local openings.
TerrainSteep
Steeper terrain can encourage runoff. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features.
