Soil and terrain at McKenzie River Trail System
McKenzie River Trail System is a mountain bike trail network in Bend, OR. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as rocky loam. Dense tree cover can reduce sun and wind exposure, slowing drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 2,307 ft, an average terrain slope of 9.2° and a predominant SSE-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
SoilRocky loam
The soil data includes about 57% 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.
CanopyDense 79%
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.
