Soil and terrain at Bobsled

Bobsled is a mountain bike trail network in Salt Lake City, UT. The soil is loam and drains well. Heavy tree cover can slow drying after rain. The terrain averages a 11.5° slope at 7,605 ft and mainly faces NW. Its rolling slopes drain steadily. Trails here include Uncle Effer Trail, Grandview Peak Trail and Canyon Trail.

How these factors affect drying

SoilLoam

Loam balances drainage with water retention, so it typically takes a day or two to dry after meaningful rain. The soil type here is classified, but the exact drying speed is modeled from that classification rather than measured directly at this spot.

CanopyDense 66%

Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.

TerrainSheds water

Water runs off this terrain rather than pooling, which helps the surface dry out after rain.
