How we check ourselves

How these factors affect drying

SoilRocky loam

About 40% of this ground is rock fragments, so water runs through it faster than the soil type alone suggests. It dries quicker than plain loam. The soil type here is classified, but the exact drying speed is modeled from that classification rather than measured directly at this spot.

CanopyOpen 0%

Little tree cover means full sun and wind, so these trails are among the fastest to rebound after rain.

TerrainHolds water

Water tends to pool and linger here rather than running off, so the surface can stay damp well after the weather clears.
