Soil and terrain at Los Peñasquitos Canyon
Los Peñasquitos Canyon is a mountain bike trail network in San Diego, CA. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as loam. Open tree cover can allow more sun and wind exposure, helping drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 121 ft, an average terrain slope of 1.2° and a predominant NNW-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. 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
