Soil and terrain at Gore Pass

Gore Pass is a mountain bike trail network in Colorado. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as clay. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 9,226 ft, an average terrain slope of 2.5° and a predominant WSW-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Hunter Road and Lamb Road. 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

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.

CanopyPartial 53%

Partial tree cover suggests a mix of sun and shade. Local exposure and surface conditions can vary across the network.

TerrainGentle

Gentle terrain can allow water to linger, but slope alone does not establish whether water pools on a trail.
