Soil and terrain at Ridge to Rivers

Ridge to Rivers 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 4,902 ft, an average terrain slope of 8.3° and a predominant SSE-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Watchman, Five Mile Gulch and Femrite's Patrol 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 0%

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

TerrainSteep

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