Soil and terrain at Brushy Peak

Brushy Peak is a mountain bike trail network in Bay Area, CA. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as sandy. Open tree cover can allow more sun and wind exposure, helping drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 850 ft, an average terrain slope of 4.6° and a predominant SSE-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Brushy Peak Loop Trail, West Side Loop Trail and Laughlin Loop 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 we check ourselves

How these factors affect drying

SoilSandy

Sandy soil generally allows water to drain readily. Rainfall, shade and trail construction also affect recovery. The model uses surveyed water-retention values, not measured trail recovery times.

CanopyOpen 0%

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.
