<br />CLASSIFICATION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS <br />Parachute loam, 25 to 65 percent slopes; Family Loamy-skeletal, <br />Mixed Typic Cryoborolls. <br />INCLUSIONS <br />Included in this soil mapping unit are small areas of Rhone and <br />irigul soils which make up 10 to 15 percent of the mapping units. <br />Rhone soil is found on the concave portions of the landscape whereas <br />Irigul soil is found on ridge crests. <br />MAPPING UNIT ICE - PARACHUTE - RHONE <br />5 TO 30 PERCENT SLOPES <br />• <br /> <br />These gently to steeply sloping soils are found on ridge crests <br />and mountainsides ranging in elevation from 7600 to 8600 feet. <br />The average annual precipitation is about 20 inches, the average <br />annual air temperature is about 40 degrees F., and the frost-free <br />period is less than 75 days. The Parachute soil occupies more <br />of the ridge crest positions and makes up about 55 percent of <br />the map unit. The Rhone soil occupies the gently to moderately <br />sloping mountainside positions and makes up about 30 percent of <br />the unit. <br />Refer to Mapping Unit 1F - Parachute loam and Mapping Unit 3F - <br />Rhone loam for a description of soil properties and classification. <br />I-4 <br />
