Please use caution while enjoying the Arizona Trail near Hart Prairie between Aspen Corner and Forest Road 418 during the summer of 2020. The U.S. Forest Service will be cutting and masticating ponderosa pine trees throughout the area to restore the meadow environment. This project allows regrowth of Bebb willow and other alpine meadow species that have been pushed out by the recent growth of pine trees. No trail closures are anticipated, but thinning and processing activities will temporarily impact the scenic resources and natural quiet near the Arizona Trail.
