How these factors affect drying
SoilRocky sandy
The soil data includes about 50% 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.

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