-870 m
Ruggedness Index
A measure of terrain roughness based on vertical displacement per kilometer. Values >50 indicate significant technical effort.
39.7
Tortuosity Index
The ratio of actual trail distance to straight-line distance. Higher values (e.g. >2.0) indicate a winding route with many switchbacks.

Surface & Hydrology
Surface Spectrum Analysis
Includes only technical water fords where the vehicle actively enters a stream or riverbed. Permanent bridges are excluded from this count.
Difficulty Analysis
Difficulty is determined by a technical multi-vector analysis of elevation profile, surface quality, and topographic intensity.
