How we check ourselves

How these factors affect drying

SoilGravelly loam

CanopyPartial 26%

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

TerrainSteep

Steeper terrain can encourage runoff. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features.
