More details: https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/coconino ... PRD1083434Proposed changes to fire restrictions would increase the boundaries of the existing year-round camping and campfire ban located adjacent to the City of Flagstaff. They would also forbid the use of motorized vehicles in areas around the San Francisco Peaks, Walnut Canyon and Pumphouse Wash during Stage 2 fire restrictions. These areas have rough terrain and topography that increase wind speeds, which can limit firefighter ability to suppress wildfire starts.

In unrelated news, whoever writes press releases for the Forest Service does not know that Humphreys Peak is named after a man named Humphreys and is not possessive. I do take some solace in it not being called "Mount Humphreys". Baby steps...
