Soil and terrain at Peterson Ridge Trails

Peterson Ridge Trails is a mountain bike trail network in Bend, OR. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as gravelly sandy. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 3,379 ft, an average terrain slope of 3.1° and a predominant N-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Peterson Ridge 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

SoilGravelly sandy

The soil data includes about 30% 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 36%

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.
