How these factors affect drying
SoilLoam

CanopyPartial 50%
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.
