what are the current conditions/closures in this area? the flume trail is closed but the fossil springs trail isn't?

In response to kathkylee1's reply: The easy shuttle option would include the Flume Trail which is closed now.

Fossil Springs Trail map or this one

It starts off FR708

FR9247B is above the rim in the Coconino Forest to the Mail Trail
The Mail Trail ascends / descends the rim, I don't think you want to do that in the summer as it's 200-300 feet higher then FR708, steep and rarely used.

I'd recommend printing these directions

In response to joe bartels' reply:

Joe,

Thanks for fielding that question for me! I never really looked at a map of the Fossil Springs area, and consequently, I don't know much about it. I just know it's a lot of fun!
