Arizona Trail Is Open
Incident: Ruby Complex Prescribed Fire
Released: 6/18/2009
WILLIAMS, Ariz. - Please be advised that the Arizona Trail is now open southwest of Grandview Lookout between Watson Tank and Grandview trailhead on the Tusayan Ranger District. Managers closed this four-mile section of the trail on June 10 for public safety. The area has received significant precipitation, which has drastically slowed fire spread. Fire managers have decided that it is safe to reopen the trail.
Also be advised, the Ruby Complex (3,858 acres) is not out. Fire activity will increase if dry and warm conditions return. Stumps and logs will continue to smolder for some time and smoke will remain visible along the trail.
Thank you for your cooperation during the temporary trail closure. For further information, please contact the Kaibab National Forest, (928-635-5653).
