Access Issue: Stage II Fire Restrictions In Place and Closures Scheduled for May 23
Details
As many of you know Coconino and Kaibab National Forests have implemented Stage II Fire Restrictions. To see what this means check this link
fs.usda.gov/detail/coconino…
Starting May 23, large portions of the Coconino and Kaibab Forests will be closed to entry. Yes, this means that many of our local crags will be shut down until August unless rescinded earlier due to monsoon rains. This first closure affects The Pit, The Peaks Crag, Hobo Jungle, West Elden, Solitude Canyon, and Kelly Canyon. All of Bill Williams Mt. is closed. All of the San Francisco Peaks is closed. All of Mt. Elden is closed. This is a normal response to an unusually dry winter and threatening fire season. Total forest closure is expected before Memorial Day. LARGE fines of up to 5000$ are in place for people who do not respect the closure. Forest service personnel are driving the forest roads and flying the skies to track illegal activities. There is even a volunteer group, Woods Wathchers that reports suspicious activity.
In addition to these closures, much of the state trust lands in Northern Arizona are closed as well. Do your research before heading out, because as I said, there will be big fines.

Description [Edit]
Tule Tank Wash is a cool basalt canyon in the headwaters of Sycamore Canyon. Good potential for bouldering and maybe short routes on basalt cliffbands.
It is a beautiful area, and a fun little adventure hike to cruise downstream through the basalt narrows.

Getting There [Edit]
Drive out to White Horse lake, continue following signs to JD Dam. From JD Dam continue south west on FR105 until you reach Tule Tank Wash. There are some boulders visible where the road crosses the wash, and pools that ususally have some water. Walk down the wash to find boulders. Some of the side drainages that feed in have boulders as well.
