How we check ourselves

How these factors affect drying

SoilGravelly loam

About 30% of this ground is rock fragments, so water runs through it faster than the soil type alone suggests. It dries quicker than plain loam.

CanopyDense 92%

Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.

TerrainSheds water

Water runs off this terrain rather than pooling, which helps the surface dry out after rain.
