Soil and terrain at Curt Gowdy State Park
Curt Gowdy State Park is a mountain bike trail network in Wyoming. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as gravelly sandy. Open tree cover can allow more sun and wind exposure, helping drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 7,658 ft, an average terrain slope of 0.9° and a predominant SSE-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 24% 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 10%
Open tree cover can allow more sunlight and wind to reach the ground. Terrain, weather and trail construction also affect drying.
TerrainGentle
Gentle terrain can allow water to linger, but slope alone does not establish whether water pools on a trail.
