Access Issue: Stage 2 Fire Restrictions in Effect on Coconino and Kaibab National Forests Details

With wildfire risks at an all time high, I wanted to add this notice so people will know. Please review the restrictions and report any suspicious activity and illegal campfires to the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency number 928-774-1414 ext. 0. Sounds like full closures may be implemented soon.

Description

Area north of the barbwire fence.

Getting There

From the parking area stay north of the fenceline which splits West Elden in two.

The best trail to the cliff base starts just left of a boulder called The Egg. This trail brings you to the cliff base beneath TT's Terror and Zit Slab.
