Soil and terrain at Monolith Gardens
Monolith Gardens is a mountain bike trail network in Arizona. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as very rocky sandy. Open tree cover can allow more sun and wind exposure, helping drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 3,596 ft, an average terrain slope of 3.3° 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 these factors affect drying
SoilVery rocky sandy
The soil data includes about 61% 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.
TerrainModerate
Moderate terrain slope is one input to the drying model. Local drainage also depends on soil and trail construction.
