| FLAGSTAFF, AZ — Portions of the Red Rock Ranger District – including several recreation sites and trails – are inaccessible due to severe flooding and are closed for public safety.
A current list of temporarily closed recreation sites and closed forest roads is available on the Coconino National Forest website.
Forest employees are conducting field assessments to evaluate the extent of the flood damage, and more information will be made available as assessments are completed.
There is no estimate as to when area roads, trails and sites will re-open. Further closures may be warranted, and existing closures will only be lifted when it is safe to do so.
The public should abide by all posted signage, seek reroutes and alternative plans as necessary, and avoid cutting locks or moving barriers.
Forest visitors should use sound judgment and avoid any potential storm-damaged areas that may not be formally closed.
Residents should ensure they are signed up to receive future evacuation alerts from either Coconino County or Yavapai County.
Updates and information regarding road, trail and other area closures will be posted on the Coconino National Forest website.
