Soil and terrain at Lynch Canyon Open Space

Lynch Canyon Open Space is a mountain bike trail network in Bay Area, 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 614 ft, an average terrain slope of 3° and a predominant S-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Hiddenbrooke Trail, Blue Rock Springs Trail and Saint John's Mine Road. 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.

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.
