Soil and terrain at Mount Falcon Park
Mount Falcon Park is a mountain bike trail network in Denver & Golden, CO. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as clay. Open tree cover can allow more sun and wind exposure, helping drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 6,014 ft, an average terrain slope of 3.5° and a predominant SSE-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Hayden Trail, Solterra Trail and South Indiana St Trail. 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
SoilClay
Clay can retain moisture and become slick when wet. Wait for a firm trail surface and respect posted closures. The model uses surveyed water-retention values, not measured trail recovery times.
CanopyOpen 20%
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.
