Forest Closures 2022

FOREST CLOSURES 2022

Hiking vicariously thru oil painting. Escudilla Mountain

Tinder box dryness, wildfires and dry lightning season combine for extremely dangerous conditions in Arizona.  About this time each year, land managers begin implementing State 3 Fire Restrictions which include FULL FOREST CLOSURES.   

Please check before heading out and RESPECT ALL CLOSURES & RESTRICTIONS. 

I'll be staying local for the next few weeks, hiking in the early morning and hiking vicariously by indulging in my hobby of making oil paintings of some of my favorite national forest hiking trails.

Here's a list of websites to check current restrictions:
