Does anybody know a good website that gives current fire restrictions on all of Arizona's National Forests? Or do you need to go to each individual National Forest home page to check? Thanks.

Following Kurt's link and going into the Kaibab National Forest link, you will see this

http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/kai/news/releases/2007/061107_additional_fire.php

Bill Williams mountain is effectively closed now to all activities. So don't plan on that one for a while.

Excerpt:
Besides the additional fire restrictions, fire managers also plan to implement an area closure of the Bill Williams Mountain Watershed. Once the closure is in effect, all activities will be prohibited in the closed area, including camping, hiking, biking, and motorized vehicle use.

I hiked to Kendrick peak on Tuesday and chatted with the fire guy who mans the lookout tower Monday to Friday. He lives in Williams and he told me about the closure. This posting just confirms his comments.
