Coronado Forest
På grund av brandrisken har de nu stängt ner hela Coronado Forest som inkluderar samtliga av de hiking och klättringsområden som vi brukar åka till. Så troligtvis blir det ingen mer hiking eller klättring innan vi åker hem då de inte kommer att öppna igen förrän det kommer regn, vilket inte är speciellt troligt att det gör på ett tag.
"Tucson, AZ (June 6, 2011) – Due to extreme fire danger and concern for public safety, the Coronado National Forest will be closed to all public use beginning at noon on Thursday, June 9 (36 CFR 261.52[e]).
The temporary closure applies to all Ranger Districts of the Coronado National Forest, and includes Visitor Centers, campgrounds, picnic areas, trails, summer cabins, organization camps and all other public uses. District Rangers may authorize use for specifically permitted activities through Special-Use Permits. Violation of the closure is punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000, or imprisonment for not more than six months, or both.
On the Santa Catalina Ranger District, the Catalina Highway (Mt. Lemmon Highway) will remain open during daylight hours so visitors may access Summerhaven atop Mt. Lemmon. Vehicles may not stop along the highway, and must use it strictly to access Summerhaven. The road will be closed at night.
This closure will be lifted when significant moisture is received to reduce the wildfire threat to manageable levels."
