Bummer. This place was on my "short list."

Re: Coal Mine Canyon
Too bad about the closure. Do you think this is temporary and associated with the thaw cycle? I could see how the resulting "mucky-muck" would be considered hazardous...
I had a chance to visit back around Christmas/New Year's and can say this is a special place!

Re: Coal Mine Canyon
This from Ambika on AZH:
So either its over already, or more likely, the website is out of date. Either way, it appears to be open. Hooray!I called the cameron office and they were ready to issue permits for the place if I showed up Mon-Fri between 8 am & 5:00 pm ....I specifically asked about closure and they said they asked the local office and they were told it was open.

Re: Coal Mine Canyon
I was there yesterday and we had a good time wandering about the top end of the canyon -- It is open.
