Soil and terrain at Cathedral Hills
Cathedral Hills is a mountain bike trail network in Oregon. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as gravelly sandy. Sandy soil can help drainage, while dense tree cover can slow drying by reducing sun and wind exposure. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 1,381 ft, an average terrain slope of 1.3° and a predominant S-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. 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
SoilGravelly sandy
The soil data includes about 16% rock fragments. The model uses this to adjust drainage; it does not measure how quickly every trail section dries. Drying behavior is modeled from the soil classification, not measured directly on the trail.
CanopyDense 78%
Dense tree cover can reduce sunlight and wind at ground level, slowing drying. Its effect depends on weather and local openings.
TerrainGentle
Gentle terrain can allow water to linger, but slope alone does not establish whether water pools on a trail.
