How these factors affect drying
SoilLoam
Loam balances drainage with water retention, so it typically takes a day or two to dry after meaningful rain. The soil type here is classified, but the exact drying speed is modeled from that classification rather than measured directly at this spot.
CanopyDense 83%
Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.
