Soil and terrain at Joaquin Miller
Joaquin Miller is a mountain bike trail network in Bay Area, CA. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as loam. Dense tree cover can reduce sun and wind exposure, slowing drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 1,293 ft, an average terrain slope of 9° and a predominant SW-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Sunset Loop and Sinawik Loop. 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
SoilLoam
Loam combines drainage with water retention. Soil type alone does not establish how long this network takes to dry. The model uses surveyed water-retention values, not measured trail recovery times.
CanopyDense 65%
Dense tree cover can reduce sunlight and wind at ground level, slowing drying. Its effect depends on weather and local openings.
TerrainSteep
Steeper terrain can encourage runoff. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features.
