Soil and terrain at Seaman's Gulch

Seaman's Gulch is a mountain bike trail network in Boise, ID. 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 2,854 ft, an average terrain slope of 4.3° and a predominant SSW-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Seamans Gulch, Big Springs Loop and Wild Phlox 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

SoilSandy

Sandy soil generally allows water to drain readily. Rainfall, shade and trail construction also affect recovery. 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.

TerrainModerate

Moderate terrain slope is one input to the drying model. Local drainage also depends on soil and trail construction.
