Soil and terrain at Chino Hills State Park
Chino Hills State Park is a mountain bike trail network in Orange County & Inland Empire, CA. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as clay. Open tree cover can allow more sun and wind exposure, helping drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 1,047 ft, an average terrain slope of 4.4° and a predominant ENE-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
SoilClay
Clay can retain moisture and become slick when wet. Wait for a firm trail surface and respect posted closures. 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.
