Sedona AZ – Two popular recreation sites on the Red Rock Ranger District will be temporarily closed during reconstruction activity over the next several weeks. The Soldiers Pass Trailhead will be closed Monday and Tuesday, February 27 – 28, 2012 for reconstruction of the parking area. In addition, the V-V Cultural Site located near Beaver Creek will be closed for the weekend of March 2 – March 5, 2012 to allow for trail reconstruction.

These temporary site closures will allow U.S. Forest Service personnel and the Coconino Rural Environment Corps (CREC) crew to provide necessary parking area resurfacing, trail improvements, the installation of water diversion structures, reduction of soil erosion, and enhancement of site areas for continued public enjoyment.

For public and employee safety, avoid construction areas during these closure periods. For more information concerning this project, contact the Red Rock Ranger District at (928) 203-7500.
