2 Arizona national forests reopen; 2 others will Wednesday
July 7, 2021 GMT
WILLIAMS, Ariz. (AP) Kaibab National Forest officials on Tuesday reopened most of the forest in northern Arizona to public entry as recent rain and cooler temperatures reduced the threat of severe wildfire activity.
However, Bill Williams Mountain near Williams remained closed to the public and fire restrictions remained in effect across the forest because the persistent drought in the region meant that fire danger remains high, officials said in a statement.
The Kaibab National Forest includes sections near Williams and north of the Grand Canyon.
Coconino National Forest officials also cited recent rainfall in northern Arizona led to Tuesday’s reopening with fire restrictions remaining in effect.
