Soil and terrain at Broken Arrow

Broken Arrow is a mountain bike trail network in Sedona, AZ. The soil is very rocky loam and drains very fast. With little tree cover, the ground gets plenty of sun and wind. The terrain averages a 6.6° slope at 4,397 ft and mainly faces NNE. Its rolling slopes drain steadily. Trails here include Broken Arrow Spur, Hog Wash Trail and Mystic Trail.

How these factors affect drying

SoilVery rocky loam

About 76% of this ground is rock fragments, so water runs through it faster than the soil type alone suggests. It dries quicker than plain loam. The soil type here is classified, but the exact drying speed is modeled from that classification rather than measured directly at this spot.

CanopyOpen 23%

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

TerrainModerate

Terrain here drains at a moderate pace. It neither sheds nor holds water strongly.
