Camp in the Coconino National Forest

07/15/20

Caution! Forest Service roads with number signs and obvious tire tracks may be officially closed to public use. Use each Forest's free MVUM, available at the visitor centers, some retailers and on-line. The MVUM is the legal document showing open roads. In general, if the road you want to take on the Forest is not on the map, even if it is on the ground, signed and being used, it is legally closed to vehicular traffic. It would take too long to explain the whys here, so talk to the folks at the USFS visitor center for an explanation. As an aside, I worked for the US Forest Service from 1995 to 2005 on the Coconino, Tonto and Gila National Forests when this state of affairs began.
