Terrain & soilBroken Arrow sits in the Sedona, AZ area, on rocky loam soil that drains fast over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. With little tree cover, sun and wind get to the dirt fast. Whether it’s worth riding comes down to how that ground sheds and holds water after rain. That’s exactly what Loam tracks, hour by hour. The NW-facing aspect gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture, and the rolling terrain, about a 5.3° average grade at 4,393 ft, drains steadily rather than pooling. Huckaby Trail and Jim Thompson Trail are among the named trails our map data covers here.

How these factors affect drying
SoilRocky loam
About 60% of this ground is rock fragments, so water runs through it faster than the soil type alone suggests. It dries quicker than plain loam.
CanopyOpen 18%
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.
