Soil and terrain at Oregon Trail Reserve

Oregon Trail Reserve is a mountain bike trail network in Boise, ID. 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 2,976 ft, an average terrain slope of 3.3° and a predominant NE-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Oregon Trail, Basalt Trail and Sara Sutton 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 we check ourselves

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 21%

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.
