Soil and terrain at Mills Peak
Mills Peak is a mountain bike trail network in Lost Sierra, CA. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as gravelly loam. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 6,204 ft, an average terrain slope of 5.3° and a predominant NNE-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
SoilGravelly loam
The soil data includes about 35% 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.
CanopyPartial 49%
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.
