Soil and terrain at Fitzgerald Mountain

Fitzgerald Mountain is a mountain bike trail network in Bentonville & NWA, AR. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as gravelly sandy. Sandy soil can help drainage, while dense tree cover can slow drying by reducing sun and wind exposure. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 1,618 ft, an average terrain slope of 4.9° and a predominant WSW-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Butterfield, Stage Coach and Coyote Cave. 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

SoilGravelly sandy

The soil data includes about 32% 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.

CanopyDense 80%

Dense tree cover can reduce sunlight and wind at ground level, slowing drying. Its effect depends on weather and local openings.

TerrainModerate

Moderate terrain slope is one input to the drying model. Local drainage also depends on soil and trail construction.
