Soil and terrain at Cheyenne Mountain State Park
Cheyenne Mountain State Park is a mountain bike trail network in Colorado Springs, CO. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as gravelly clay. Open tree cover can allow more sun and wind exposure, helping drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 6,122 ft, an average terrain slope of 3.6° and a predominant SE-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Blackmer Loop, Sundance and Talon. 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 clay
The soil data includes about 30% 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 14%
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.
