Quiet Areas
Three designated quiet areas provide unique recreational opportunities on the Coconino National Forest. A Forest Order established these quiet areas to allow hunters to practice traditional, non-motorized hunting techniques and give other recreationists places to enjoy a serene forest experience.
These areas are accessible by motorized vehicles during spring and summer months for fuelwood gathering, sightseeing, timber harvesting, and many other uses. However, during fall and winter months, motorized vehicle use is restricted to allow unique recreation opportunities and greater opportunities for hunting.
