Soil and terrain at White Ranch Park
White Ranch Park is a mountain bike trail network in Denver & Golden, CO. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as sandy. Sandy soil can help drainage, while dense tree cover can slow drying by reducing sun and wind exposure. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 6,929 ft, an average terrain slope of 13.6° and a predominant ENE-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Belcher Hill Trail, Longhorn Trail and Shorthorn 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 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.
CanopyDense 61%
Dense tree cover can reduce sunlight and wind at ground level, slowing drying. Its effect depends on weather and local openings.
TerrainSteep
Steeper terrain can encourage runoff. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features.
