FLAGSTAFF β Calm winds, sunny skies and no campfire restrictions in national forests.
The Memorial Day holiday is looking ideal for spending time outdoors, barbecuing, hiking, biking and fishing.
The state is cutting the price in half for one-day fishing licenses and stocking trout in popular lakes. State transportation crews also will be taking a break from major road projects.
The holiday weekend is routinely among the busiest of the year at recreation sites.
Waits at the Grand Canyon's South Rim entrance station are expected to be long. Campsites are filling up quickly.
The lack of fire restrictions comes thanks to the amount of moisture in fuels.
But officials say that doesn't mean they're not worried about embers escaping from campfires. They say visitors should extinguish campfires completely to prevent wildfires.
