Wet Beaver Creek. West Clear Creek Trail 17. Sycamore Creek north of Cottonwood. All easy hikes with quick access to some nice pools.

Man I hope so. The victims all need to speak up.

Yep...NO FEE at the Horton Creek Trailhead day use / picnic area. And the toilets were rank ! But we had a great hike

I am getting conflicting info today. Is the trailhead parking for Horton Creek a fee area? Are fees just for campground parking? Is the day use / picnic area a fee based parking lot. I need up to date info. Thanks

What do you all think is the best insect repellant? I realize everyone is different but what is best for you? Especially those dang no-see-ums!
A high-level of DEET?
Citronella lotion?
A lit cigarette? ( my buddies favorite )

Had a buddy drive throgh Clints Well the other day and said colors were great. Are there any good Fall color hikes in that area that anyone could recommend?

Exactly. FYI..the place does look a lot cleaner. I find less garbage left from others that I pack out on my hike / fishing trips.

I would assume a warrant by the County Sheriffs office

Response to email that I sent Coconino Forest office today: Hi Jim and thanks for your questions. I'll try to answer: We have essentially a zero tolerance policy when it comes to fires within our Fossil Closure area. It is well signed and there is no reason why someone would not know about it. As fo...

I feel that it is time to FULLY enforce the regulations. That means: TOW all of the illegally parked vehicles. MAX FINE for campsites and campfires inside the forest order boundary. ARREST anyone who gets combative over the issue. At least the word will get out. I can't believe how some people just ...

Was up there all day yesterday with no issues. I have never had a problem at that trailhead even parking overnight. I did happen upon a couple last year that had their window broken at the trailhead. A lot of publications have really spread the word about Beaver Creek ( AZ Highways, Phoenix Magazine...

I would think that as the weather warms up, the USFS might be enforcing the order more often. Or it might be a budget or lack of manpower issue. I would gladly pay a permit or parking fee for use of that area.

I took a hike up there this past Saturday. It still amazes me that I can come across a large group of campers at the large pool by the Academy and tell them that there is a camping ban and I always get the same response….either “We didn’t know” or “ We have been camping here for years”…How big does ...
