Soil and terrain at Bell Rock Area

Bell Rock Area is a mountain bike trail network in Sedona, AZ. The soil is rocky sandy and drains fast. With little tree cover, the ground gets plenty of sun and wind. The terrain averages a 0.6° slope at 4,288 ft and mainly faces NW. Its nearly flat slopes can hold water in flat stretches.

How these factors affect drying

SoilRocky sandy

About 40% of this ground is rock fragments, so water runs through it faster than the soil type alone suggests. It dries quicker than plain sandy. The soil type here is classified, but the exact drying speed is modeled from that classification rather than measured directly at this spot.

CanopyOpen 13%

Little tree cover means full sun and wind, so these trails are among the fastest to rebound after rain.

TerrainHolds water

Water tends to pool and linger here rather than running off, so the surface can stay damp well after the weather clears.
