Cinder Hills Off-Highway Vehicle Area Improvement Project ($220,000)
Coconino National Forest, Arizona
The project entails conducting survey and design work for trailhead amenities and boundary fencing where needed, developing a Special Recreation Permit management plan, conducting public involvement and partnership collaboration, and installing trailhead amenities and boundary fencing (especially between Sunset Crater – NPS site). Ultimately, the project objective is to have suitable amenities at the Cinder Hills off-highway vehicle area and designate it as a Special Recreation Permit site with a fair market entry fee to provide a sustainable funding source to support the operation, maintenance, and monitoring of recreation activities in this area.
