Soil and terrain at Skyline Watershed Ridge Trail

Skyline Watershed Ridge Trail is a mountain bike trail network in Bay Area, CA. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as gravelly sandy. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 863 ft, an average terrain slope of 1.4° and a predominant ESE-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Skyline Watershed Ridge 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

SoilGravelly sandy

The soil data includes about 35% 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.

CanopyPartial 49%

Partial tree cover suggests a mix of sun and shade. Local exposure and surface conditions can vary across the network.

TerrainGentle

Gentle terrain can allow water to linger, but slope alone does not establish whether water pools on a trail.
