Soil and terrain at El Scorpion / Ahmanson Ranch

El Scorpion / Ahmanson Ranch is a mountain bike trail network in Orange County & Inland Empire, CA. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as loam. Open tree cover can allow more sun and wind exposure, helping drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 968 ft, an average terrain slope of 2.4° and a predominant ESE-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 we check ourselves

How these factors affect drying

SoilLoam

Loam combines drainage with water retention. Soil type alone does not establish how long this network takes to dry. Drying behavior is modeled from the soil classification, not measured directly on the trail.

CanopyOpen 13%

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.
