Soil and terrain at Boulder Valley Ranch

Boulder Valley Ranch is a mountain bike trail network in Denver & Golden, CO. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as gravelly sandy. Open tree cover can allow more sun and wind exposure, helping drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 5,466 ft, an average terrain slope of 4.3° and a predominant NE-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Walden Ponds, 63rd St Path and Heatherwood Walden Link. 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 we check ourselves

How these factors affect drying

SoilGravelly sandy

The soil data includes about 28% rock fragments. The model uses this to adjust drainage; it does not measure how quickly every trail section dries. The model uses surveyed water-retention values, not measured trail recovery times.

CanopyOpen 15%

Open tree cover can allow more sunlight and wind to reach the ground. Terrain, weather and trail construction also affect drying.

TerrainModerate

Moderate terrain slope is one input to the drying model. Local drainage also depends on soil and trail construction.
