Soil and terrain at Mingus Mountain

Mingus Mountain is a mountain bike trail network in Sedona, AZ. The soil is very rocky loam and drains very fast. The terrain averages a 2.1° slope at 7,743 ft and mainly faces WSW. Its gentle slopes drain slowly, so low spots can stay soft after rain.

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.

CanopyPartial 44%

A mix of sun and shade. Conditions vary across the network, with open sections drying faster than covered ones.

TerrainHolds water

Water tends to pool and linger here rather than running off, so the surface can stay damp well after the weather clears.
