Soil and terrain at Carroll Canyon

Carroll Canyon is a mountain bike trail network in Sedona, AZ. The soil is very rocky sandy and drains very fast. With little tree cover, the ground gets plenty of sun and wind. The terrain averages a 11.8° slope at 4,656 ft and mainly faces SE. Its rolling slopes drain steadily. Trails here include Sketch Trail.

How these factors affect drying

SoilVery rocky sandy

About 65% 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 19%

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

TerrainSheds water

Water runs off this terrain rather than pooling, which helps the surface dry out after rain.
