I was out of the loop on this and only realized that they were closing the playground for a total renovation when we arrived yesterday and it was all fenced off. Yay for a brand new shiny playground! But does anyone know what the timeline is on it? Are we talking weeks or closed for the whole summer? Thanks if anyone has any information!
We went to our favorite Kaibab spots multiple times last summer without ever paying the newly implemented day use fee (Whitehorse, Dogtown, Cataract). It is National Forest land. We have an America the Beautiful annual pass, as well as a senior pass for one member of our family. We have an AZ State Parks pass. We have AZ fishing and hunting licenses. We pay our taxes every year. I understand that a concessionaire has taken over operations of these National Forest sites, but I refuse to believe that any number of the already paid fees listed above do not entitle us to continue using these sites as we have done for all of our lives. Nothing has changed at the sites. The concessionaire should be collecting money from the federal government for people who have valid Federal access passes. You don't get to have it both ways. Does anyone know what the plan is for actual enforcement? It's that season again!
