Soil and terrain at Lucky Peak
Lucky Peak is a mountain bike trail network in Boise, ID. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as rocky loam. Open tree cover can allow more sun and wind exposure, helping drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 3,468 ft, an average terrain slope of 5.4° and a predominant NE-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Route of the Oregon Trail, Lydle Gulch and Lydle Ridge. 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
SoilRocky loam
The soil data includes about 40% rock fragments. The model uses this to adjust drainage; it does not measure how quickly every trail section dries. The model uses surveyed water-retention values, not measured trail recovery times.
CanopyOpen 0%
Open tree cover can allow more sunlight and wind to reach the ground. Terrain, weather and trail construction also affect drying.
TerrainModerate
Moderate terrain slope is one input to the drying model. Local drainage also depends on soil and trail construction.
