County Board of Supervisors adopts campfire ban

The Coconino County Board of Supervisors enacted a campfire ban, for Coconino County, during the board meeting on Tuesday, April 28.

The ban aligns with the United States Forest Service Southern Region campfire ban which went into effect on April 22 and includes all national forests in Arizona. Building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire or stove fire are prohibited throughout the County’s jurisdictional boundaries. The ban does not apply within the boundaries of the municipal governments in the County. Gas and propane powered stoves, grills or lanterns with an on/off switch are permitted.

The campfire ban will protect the health and safety of fire fighters during the COVID-19 pandemic and reduce the impact of poor air quality on those suffering from or at risk of COVID-19.

“Fire season is approaching and fighting fires is a hazardous profession that limits the ability of first responders to physically distance,” said Coconino County Chairwoman Liz Archuleta. “Campfires can lead to unwanted human-caused fires which pose a threat to our communities. We encourage residents to recreate where appropriate without campfires.”

Proactive forest restoration measures and related activities which are currently underway on
National Forest and private lands will not be impacted. The ban went into effect immediately upon adoption and will remain in effect until rescinded by the Board of Supervisors.

Grand Canyon National Park is beginning to increase access to South Rim Viewpoints

News Release

May 13, 2020

Grand Canyon, Ariz.- Following guidance from the White House, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and state and local public health authorities, Grand Canyon National Park is increasing recreational access to selected South Rim viewpoints. The National Park Service (NPS) is working servicewide with federal, state, and local public health authorities to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and using a phased approach to increase access on a park-by-park basis.

Grand Canyon National Park’s South Rim South Entrance will reopen May 15-18 for incoming traffic from 6-10 a.m. with limited day use access to:

  • The viewpoints at Pipe Creek Vista, Twin Overlooks, Duck on a Rock, Thor’s Hammer, No Name Point and Navajo Point along East Desert View Drive. Vehicles will be directed to turn around at Navajo Point.
  • The picnic areas east of Yaki Road, Thor’s Hammer and Buggeln Picnic area.
  • The restroom facilities located by the South Entrance Grand Canyon National Park sign, picnic area east of Yaki Road, and Buggeln picnic area.
With public health in mind, the following facilities and areas remain closed to visitors at this time:
  • South Rim’s east entrance and Desert View area.
  • The Rim Trail, Greenway Trail system, inner canyon and all hiking trails.
  • Grand Canyon Village.
  • Center Road west from the South Entrance Road intersection; South Entrance Road north of Desert View Drive intersection; Yaki Point Road, Rowe Well Road and the USFS 310 Road.
  • The Colorado River, North Rim and Tuweep area.
Commercial services within the park remain closed. Visitors exploring the South Rim should plan to be self-sufficient, bringing enough food and water during their trip as well as hand sanitizer. Park entrance fees are currently waived. The park also recommends arriving no later than 9-9:30 a.m. in case of traffic backups entering the park. Once visitors enter the park, they can stay throughout the day; however, there are not overnight accommodations available.

“This initial reopening phase will increase access to our public lands in a responsible way by offering the main feature of the park for the public, the view of the canyon, while reducing the potential exposure of COVID-19 to our nearly 2,500 residents,” said Grand Canyon National Park Superintendent Ed Keable.

The health and safety of our visitors, employees, volunteers, and partners continues to be paramount. At Grand Canyon National Park, our operational approach will be to examine each facility function and service provided to ensure those operations comply with current public health guidance and will be regularly monitored. We continue to work closely with the NPS Office of Public Health using CDC guidance to ensure public and work spaces are safe and clean for visitors, employees, partners, and volunteers.

While these areas are accessible for visitors to enjoy, a return to full operations will continue to be phased and services may be limited. Currently, additional access is planned for visitors over Memorial Day weekend, which includes extending entrance station hours and access to more roads, hiking trails and viewpoints. Details will be provided when they’re available on our website.

As a reminder, visitors driving on U.S. Route 89 between Flagstaff or northern Arizona and Cameron will be travelling through the Navajo Nation, which requires face masks to be worn at public facilities and businesses to slow the spread of COVID-19. Also, the neighboring Havasupai reservation remains closed for tourism, and details for operational updates can be found on their website.

The CDC has offered guidance to help people recreating in parks and open spaces prevent the spread of infectious diseases. We will continue to monitor all park functions to ensure that visitors adhere to CDC guidance for mitigating risks associated with the transmission of COVID-19 and take any additional steps necessary to protect public health. When recreating, the public should follow local area health orders, practice Leave No Trace principles, avoid crowding and avoid high-risk outdoor activities.

Details and updates on park operations will continue to be posted on our website at: https://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/grand-canyon-national-park-public-health-update.htm and social media channels. Updates about NPS operations will be posted on www.nps.gov/coronavirus.

Responsible Recreation Across Arizona
Arizona Office of Tourism has collaborated with outdoor recreation management agencies at the
federal, state and local levels to create Responsible Recreation Across Arizona, a one-stop resource
with guidelines on enjoying spectacular Arizona landscapes while adhering to COVID-19 physical
distancing guidelines.

The latest responsible recreation updates include statewide fire safety and restriction information plus
guidance on summer recreation in the state’s deserts. Many Arizonans are turning to the outdoors as a
great escape. This resource is updated regularly, so be sure and check it out!
Individual prevention actions remain important
In locations across the country, public health restrictions designed to slow the spread of COVID-19
are being eased. Many stores have changed business processes to help reduce the spread of illness,
including opening with reduced hours, occupancy restrictions, online and curbside services options
and requiring employee to follow prevention measures such as sanitizing work areas, wearing masks
and washing hands frequently. While these changes are important to help protect the public,
individual prevention actions remain important to protect against illness.

The following guidelines will help to protect you while shopping:

  • Use online and curbside options when possible.
  • Stay at least six (6) feet away from others while shopping and in lines.
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face covering when you have to go out in public.
  • When you do have to visit a store in person, go during hours when fewer people will be there (for example, early morning or late night).
  • If you are at higher risk for severe illness, find out if the store has special hours for people at higher risk. If they do, try to shop during those hours. People at higher risk for severe illness include adults 65 or older and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions.
  • Disinfect the shopping cart, use disinfecting wipes if available.
  • Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
  • If possible, use “touchless payment” (pay without touching money, a card or a keypad). If you must handle money, a card, or use a keypad, then use hand sanitizer right after paying.
  • Wash your hands frequently.
Additional prevention information is available at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/.
Self-isolation Activities

Self-isolation is practiced in order to keep infected or potentially exposed individuals separated from healthy individuals. While self-isolating, stay home and quarantine yourself to a specific room in order to limit exposure to your housemates or family members.

Here are a few ideas for fun activities you can do at home while self-isolating:

  • Read a book
  • Paint
  • Start a new TV series on Netflix or Hulu
  • Video chat some friends
  • Practice yoga or meditation
  • Journal
  • Listen to a podcast
  • Clean out your wardrobe
  • Have an at-home spa day
