Welcome to the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests
The Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests are lifting/rescinding our Stage 2 Fire Restrictions (no fire restrictions will be in place), Mount Baldy/Greer closure order, and Promontory Butte closure order (Black Mesa Ranger District), effective at 8:00 am on Friday, July 25, 2025. The Greer Fire closure order is still in effect for Benny Creek Campground and South Fork Day Use Area.
The Forests' elevations range from 3,500 feet on the Clifton Ranger District to over 11,000 feet on the Mount Baldy Wilderness. We are home to a large part of the Mogollon Rim and White Mountains, rich in beauty and tranquility. Water is a major attraction with 24 lakes and reservoirs and more than 400 miles of rivers and streams - more than can be found in any other southwestern forest.
