VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER FORCES PARTIAL CLOSURE OF COCONINO NATIONAL FOREST
(FLAGSTAFF, AZ) – For only the third time in nearly 30 years, fire

Although much of the forest will stay open to the public, beginning
Wednesday May 22 at 8 a.m., about 66% of the forest will be closed to

forest areas that have ponderosa pine are being closed to public
access. ...
