Soil and terrain at Yellow Fork Canyon

Yellow Fork Canyon is a mountain bike trail network in Salt Lake City, UT. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as loam. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 5,670 ft, an average terrain slope of 4.4° and a predominant NNW-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 we check ourselves

How these factors affect drying

SoilLoam

Loam combines drainage with water retention. Soil type alone does not establish how long this network takes to dry. The model uses surveyed water-retention values, not measured trail recovery times.

CanopyPartial 26%

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

TerrainModerate

Moderate terrain slope is one input to the drying model. Local drainage also depends on soil and trail construction.
