Soil and terrain at Sun Mountain
Sun Mountain is a mountain bike trail network in Washington. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as gravelly sandy. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 2,740 ft, an average terrain slope of 10.2° and a predominant NE-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. 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
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 47%
Partial tree cover suggests a mix of sun and shade. Local exposure and surface conditions can vary across the network.
TerrainSteep
Steeper terrain can encourage runoff. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features.
