Soil and terrain at Dead Mountain
Dead Mountain is a mountain bike trail network in Oakridge, OR. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as gravelly loam. Dense tree cover can reduce sun and wind exposure, slowing drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 2,661 ft, an average terrain slope of 10° and a predominant SSW-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Dead Mountain Trail. 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 loam

CanopyDense 81%
Dense tree cover can reduce sunlight and wind at ground level, slowing drying. Its effect depends on weather and local openings.
TerrainSteep
Steeper terrain can encourage runoff. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features.
