Closure area expanded in Flagstaff for forest thinning area

Coconino National Forest is expanding forest closures due to the forest thinning project near the southwest base of Mount Elden. The Elden Base Project, a 642-acre subset of the overall Flagstaff Watershed Protection Project will be completed in 13 units or segments. The active units will be closed to the public during work. The areas being closed are sections of the Arizona National Scenic, Pipeline and Lower Oldham Trails. The Arizona National Scenic Trail is being temporarily rerouted through the city. Work is expected to move from east to west through July 2019. Additional project closures will happen as the thinning operations move throughout the areas.
