@xploring_trails We live in such a beautiful place!!

Yesterday, late afternoon, we enjoyed watching #storm clouds glide over the Rim's green vista. The temps dropped into the 60s when streams of rain hit the dusty forest ground. At one point, it dipped to a crisp 58 degrees. #arizona #stormclouds #monsoon #forest #payson #clouds

Fossil Creek remains closed due to safety risks on Fossil Creek Road. FR 708 remains closed to all traffic through this evening. Engineering is assessing road conditions and performing maintenance.

Marshmallows are for roasting, not throwing!" Heading to the great outdoors this weekend? Planning on Salt River tubing? #TontoNF would like to give you a friendly reminder to not throw marshmallows while recreating in the water. At the end of the day, it's considered littering.

Oak Creek is a beautiful watershed that is susceptible to pollution from human and pet waste. 💩Let's all do our part to keep it clean by packing out our waste, using facilities when available, and doing our research before we go. 🚽
