Soil and terrain at North Cheyenne Cañon Park

North Cheyenne Cañon Park is a mountain bike trail network in Colorado Springs, CO. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as gravelly sandy. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 7,474 ft, an average terrain slope of 17.5° and a predominant SE-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features.

Official closures and conditions on the ground take priority.

How we check ourselves

How these factors affect drying

SoilGravelly sandy

The soil data includes about 26% rock fragments. The model uses this to adjust drainage; it does not measure how quickly every trail section dries. Drying behavior is modeled from the soil classification, not measured directly on the trail.

CanopyPartial 40%

Partial tree cover suggests a mix of sun and shade. Local exposure and surface conditions can vary across the network.

TerrainSteep

Steeper terrain can encourage runoff. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features.
