Soil and terrain at Bell Rock Area
Bell Rock Area is a mountain bike trail network in Sedona, AZ. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as rocky sandy. Open tree cover can allow more sun and wind exposure, helping drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 4,288 ft, an average terrain slope of 0.6° and a predominant NW-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
SoilRocky sandy
The soil data includes about 40% 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.
CanopyOpen 13%
Open tree cover can allow more sunlight and wind to reach the ground. Terrain, weather and trail construction also affect drying.
TerrainGentle
Gentle terrain can allow water to linger, but slope alone does not establish whether water pools on a trail.
