Nails near the trails



All of these nails were collected from the three unauthorized fire pits pictured below.  This is why the Forest Service no longer allows pallet burning.  Mtb's beware of flats!

Random Fire Pits


Is Green Canyon so crowded that users have to make new fire pits?
The canyon has numerous picnic and camping areas with nice fire rings, so why are others being created?
A few things can be done to discourage continued use of unauthorized fire pits:
  • clean up trash in those areas
  • scatter coals and wood remnants
  • make it look like the area hasn't been used in a while
  • remind users that the canyon has plenty of authorized fire rings
