Trail Information
Highlights
Situated in the vast ponderosa pine woodlands of the Coconino National Forest, Fry Canyon Trail offers peaceful serenity only minutes from downtown Flagstaff. The numerous designated shady campsites on the western end of the trail make excellent base camps for exploring the area while still providing easy access to all the services found in Flagstaff. The high country abounds with elk, deer, and wild turkey, often seen when hiking one of the many area trails. The road's namesake, Fry Canyon, is a favorite with the canyoneering and climbing crowd. Beautiful red rock Sedona is just a 30-minute drive south through the scenic Oak Creek Canyon. There are plenty of forest roads to explore through the high country pinelands and wide-open prairies. There are even a few gnarly trails to provide offroading challenges for those so inclined. Whatever you are looking for, it isn't far away from the Fry Canyon Trail.

A quick drive through the area. The trail is open, and the trail guide remains accurate.

Short but sweet. Definitely a popular area to camp (where designated). LNT definitely isn’t a common practice for many who have previously visited. Cleaned up my area upon arrival, unfortunately I don’t have as many trash bags as the rest would require.
Come prepared…. 🤔

So this trail and a few more listed in this area are closed. It stated Seasonal Closure
I have never seen so few trails open in this area before. I don't know why but a lot of trails are closed around Flagstaff.
Good luck.

gate from 89A was open over thanksgiving weekend. lots of great dispersed camping sites. road is a bit rocky and rutted from the 17 freeway. overall a great place to get away that is freeway close but far enough away from the crowds. there were a few people camping over the holiday break, but for the most part, there were a lot of open areas to have some privacy (much better than any developed campground!) Also lots of places for some larger RV's
