Today is the first day that the smoke is thick in Tucson…
anyone get through and get info… computer system on ohone being weird or I’m in too much a rush… worried about our route through the WHite Mountains … anyone have an update?
The US-191 is for sure closed. I suspect you’d be going through Show Low, however, and I wouldn’t think there’d be any closures that far west.
Also, the smoke in Tucson is probably from the fire between Tubac and Arivaca.
SR 273, SR 261, US 180, and SR 260 are all closed in the Springerville area.
SR 77 , US 60 through Globe is open to Show Low
:peace
191 N or 491 N… ??? through St Johns or Snowflake N. to 40 to Gallup and then N. to Reservation?
191 would only be closed south of Eager/Springerville. So you could probably take SR-70/US-60 to Show Low, US-60 to SR-61, SR-61 to St. Johns, and US-191 up to I-40. Unless there is a new fire on the other side of the White Mountains this week, that route should be OK.
They have just closed the entire Coronado National Forest…
lots of smoke in Telluride today, didn’t seem bad yesterday when I landed in Durango from a trip to see furthur @ shoreline … hopefully the fires will settle down easy and/or a nice dose of rain would help lots!
WHOA! :eek Just getting off Phish tour and back to reality–have only heard a tiny bit about the fires in AZ…didn’t have any clue they were smoking out all of southwest Colorado too! I sure hope the wind calms and these get contained.
Any smoke updates from the box canyon?
