Soil and terrain at Pioche (Prospector Trails)

Pioche (Prospector Trails) is a mountain bike trail network in Nevada. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as gravelly sandy. Open tree cover can allow more sun and wind exposure, helping drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 4,895 ft, an average terrain slope of 1.3° and a predominant SSW-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 sandy

The soil data includes about 18% 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.

CanopyOpen 0%

Open tree cover can allow more sunlight and wind to reach the ground. Terrain, weather and trail construction also affect drying.

TerrainGentle

Gentle terrain can allow water to linger, but slope alone does not establish whether water pools on a trail.
