Soil and terrain at Las Trampas
Las Trampas is a mountain bike trail network in Bay Area, CA. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as loam. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 833 ft, an average terrain slope of 5.2° and a predominant NNE-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Old Moraga Ranch Trail, Clyde Wood Trail and Sumner's Trail. 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.
CanopyPartial 42%
Partial tree cover suggests a mix of sun and shade. Local exposure and surface conditions can vary across the network.
TerrainModerate
Moderate terrain slope is one input to the drying model. Local drainage also depends on soil and trail construction.
