Some Coronado Forest areas closed after Bighorn Fire reopen
UpdatedSome recreational areas along Catalina Highway have reopened, about six weeks after the massive Bighorn Fire was finally put out.
The fire started June 5 and burned about 120,000 acres in the Catalina Mountains by the time the Forest Service declared it fully contained on July 23.
The Forest Service reopened some recreational areas beginning Tuesday night.
Visitors can use the areas, but services like restrooms and trash pickup still are unavailable, officials said. Visitors are asked to clean up after themselves.
However, restrooms and trash services will resume at four recreation sites on Thursday, Sept. 3: General Hitchcock Campground, Inspiration Rock Picnic Area, Alder Picnic Area and Box Elder Picnic Area.
The order reopening some areas is expected to be in effect until Nov. 1, though changes can be made.
