The Kaibab National Forest has implemented a temporary closure of Forest Road 149 near Kendrick Mountain on the Williams Ranger District. Officials say due to a severe lack of winter moisture, there was very little growth of grasses and plants in the area making for potentially unstable conditions during heavy monsoonal rains and an increased risk of flooding. Forest Road 149, which is located in the far northeastern corner of the Williams Ranger District just east of Pumpkin Center, accesses the Pumpkin Trailhead on Kendrick Mountain, will remain closed until monsoon conditions subside.
