Coconino National Forest wrote:The Coconino National Forest is seeking public input on a proposed commercial short stop permit program. The program would have two elements: issuance of special-use permits to commercial tour companies conducting short stop activities and the implementation of a fee for this use. Tour companies would be required to obtain permits in advance of or at the time of use.
Initially, three locations have been identified as short stop locations on the Red Rock Ranger District:
Red Rock Ranger District Visitor Center
Bell Rock Vista
Oak Creek Canyon Vista
This program could apply in the future to other potential short stop locations across the Coconino National Forest.
A 45-day scoping period, from Aug. 9-Sept. 22, is provided to allow public participation, prior to a decision by the Coconino National Forest.
