[mtlongisland2]

can you still park and hike down to the dam from the top of fossil springs? the 4 mile train into and out of the canyon?

i have read the road is closed but is the trail from the top still closed? thank you

The trail is open, but it's going to be plenty warm this time of year...

yes the fossil springs trail head is still open they closed the road just after the parking lot. you have to get there early to get a parking lot fills up fast now it is usally full by 11 am. i have heard that you can still get to the creek form camp verde but its a long drive.

I think I saw a memo last week that the Fossil Creek area would be closed soon to entry due too severe fire threat still checking.

The 4X road down Deadman Mesa is still open as of last Tuesday. Ended up riding my mountain bike down the 8 miles, then hike-a-biked back up the rocky road. I had a trail cam set up down there that worked for 11 months; tons of pics of elk, deer, coyotes, and even a healthy herd of bighorn sheep...had no idea sheep were up there. The temps were not so bad, in the low 90s.

Very cool about the camera and the Bighorns. My brother-in-law has several cams set up in Washington State. The pictures are awesome and they now have "pet" names for all of the bears in the area....
