Soil and terrain at Duthie Hill
Duthie Hill is a mountain bike trail network in Seattle & Snoqualmie, WA. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as gravelly sandy. Sandy soil can help drainage, while dense tree cover can slow drying by reducing sun and wind exposure. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 551 ft, an average terrain slope of 0.2° and a predominant N-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Step It Up, Boot Camp and Movin' On. 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 20% rock fragments. The model uses this to adjust drainage; it does not measure how quickly every trail section dries. Drying behavior is modeled from the soil classification, not measured directly on the trail.
CanopyDense 79%
Dense tree cover can reduce sunlight and wind at ground level, slowing drying. Its effect depends on weather and local openings.
TerrainGentle
Gentle terrain can allow water to linger, but slope alone does not establish whether water pools on a trail.
