Soil and terrain at Cave Creek Regional Park

Cave Creek Regional Park is a mountain bike trail network in Phoenix & Scottsdale, AZ. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as rocky loam. Open tree cover can allow more sun and wind exposure, helping drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 1,972 ft, an average terrain slope of 2.2° and a predominant SE-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 we check ourselves

How these factors affect drying

SoilRocky loam

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 0%

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.
