Soil and terrain at Santa Teresa County Park
Santa Teresa County Park is a mountain bike trail network in Bay Area, CA. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as sandy. Open tree cover can allow more sun and wind exposure, helping drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 505 ft, an average terrain slope of 4.9° and a predominant WNW-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Mine Trail, Stile Ranch and Bernal Hill. 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

CanopyOpen 0%
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.
