Show Forest Service Gives Plans for Fall in Canyons As school starts &Labor Day passes, the camping and picnic use of our canyons loses its momentum. At this lime of year it is time for the Forest Service to look to the future seasons. The use of remaining manpower and money must be coordinated between recreation cleanup and recreation maintenance. Campgrounds must be prepared and put to rest for the winter. In turn, plans for next year's opening and administration ad-ministration must be made. . Plans for the immediate future are to leave some areas open year round. Other areas will have partial closings while some areas will be closed entirely en-tirely in the near future. Little Mill Campground will close .September 8. Granite Flat will be open for weekend use, but will be closed Monday thru Thursday during September . Mt Timpanogos Campground in Provo Canyon will remain open until September 30 unless unseen maintenance requires its closing. Hope Picnic Area will remain open as long as the water supply is sufficient to merit the needs. Most water systems will be drained by October 1 to avoid frost damage. Those who like to enjoy the out of doors and recreation, areas during the autumn months should be able to find plenty of places available. If in doubt concerning sites open or closed feel free to call the local Ranger's Office at Pleasant Grove. The fee system is still in effect in camp areas. Continued support in use of the trash trolley is requested. Leave a clean camp and a dead fire. Enjoy your visit to our National Forest. |
