  • Chapter 3. Management Areas
    Chapter 3. Management Areas Introduction to Management Areas Management areas are areas that have similar management intent and a common management strategy that are more specific than forestwide guidance provided in Chapter 2. This direction does not substitute for or repeat forestwide direction, but rather provides additional direction for the applicable area. In the event that a plan decision in this section and the forestwide component in another section conflict, the more restrictive plan decision generally prevails. A project or activity-level evaluation, however, may be required to resolve the conflict; generally, however, the more restrictive plan decision prevails. Some management areas are special areas that have been designated by Congress or an office of the Executive Branch. They are managed to protect the special features or character for which they were designated and must be managed in accordance with relevant law, regulation, and policy and any area- specific management plan, such as the Verde River Comprehensive River Management Plan. Because of the complication of carrying forward direction from the previous forest plan there are two management areas that overlay the Sedona-Oak Creek Management Area (MA). The Oak Creek Canyon and House Mountain-Lowlands MAs are both subject to direction for the Sedona-Oak Creek MA and have unique direction that applies only to these overlay areas. In addition, there are several guidelines in the Sedona-Oak Creek MA to which the House Mountain-Lowlands MA is an exception. Scenery desired conditions (desired landscape character) for wilderness and wild and scenic rivers is described in the MA direction. For other management areas, see the Landscape Character Zones for this direction.

  • Shady Hikes in Sedona
    Hikes that offer some shade Allen’s Bend at Grasshopper Point – 1M RT (Fee Area - $8 per car) This is an excellent shady hike that winds through an old orchard and under many riparian trees. Oak Creek, while just far enough that it can’t be seen from the trail, is just a short path away. This is an easy hike at .5 miles one way or 1-mile round trip. Baldwin Trail to Cathedral Rock Trail – 3M RT (Red Rock Pass required). This trail begins at the Baldwin Trail Head near the end of Verde Valley School Road. From the trail head map, head to the left approximately .3 miles down to the Templeton trail. Turn right on the Templeton Trail and hike approximately .5 miles along a shaded, forest trail along Oak Creek. If you continue along the Templeton Trail for another .5 mile, you'll find yourself at the base of Cathedral Rock. Here you have the option of hiking up to the vortex located in the "saddle" of Cathedral Rock. This moderate hike is approximately 3 miles. Note: the hike up to the saddle of Cathedral is more strenuous and steep. Boynton Canyon Trail – 5M RT (Red Rock Pass required). This southern exposure hike is very popular with visitors to Sedona and is the location of one of Sedona's vortex sites. We like it for the good red rock views. Once you hike past the Enchantment Resort, the trail is shaded, and views are excellent. You'll see some nice Fall colors during the third week of October after hiking in about 2 1/2 miles.

  • Biological Opinion for the Oak Creek Restoration Project
    United States Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Arizona Ecological Services Office 9828 North 31st Avenue, Suite C3 Phoenix, Arizona 85051 Telephone: (602) 242-0210 Fax: (602) 242-2513 In reply refer to: AESO/SE 02EAAZ00-2018-F-1161 July 15, 2019 Ms. Laura Jo West, Forest Supervisor Coconino National Forest 1824 South Thompson Street Flagstaff, Arizona 86001-3600 RE: Oak Creek Watershed Restoration Project Dear Ms. West: Thank you for your request for formal consultation/conference with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) pursuant to section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. § 1531- 1544), as amended (Act). We received your February 12 request, on February 13, 2019. At issue are effects that may result from the proposed Oak Creek Watershed Restoration Project located in Coconino County, Arizona. The proposed action may affect the threatened western yellow- billed cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus), the northern Mexican gartersnake (Thamnophis eques megalops) and its proposed critical habitat, the endangered Gila chub (Gila intermedia) and its critical habitat, the endangered Gila topminnow (Poeciliopsis occidentalis), and the endangered spikedace (Meda fulgida). In your letter, you requested our concurrence that the proposed action “may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect” the threatened Mexican spotted owl (Strix occidentalis lucida), the threatened narrow-headed gartersnake (Thamnophis rufipunctatus), the Gila trout (Oncorhynchus gilae), spikedace critical habitat, and loach minnow (Tiaroga cobitis) critical habitat. We concur with your determinations and include our rationales in Appendix A. You also concluded there would be “no effect” to the endangered southwestern willow flycatcher (Empidonax traillii extimus) and its critical habitat, the endangered loach minnow, Mexican spotted owl critical habitat, and proposed critical habitat for the narrow-headed gartersnake and yellow-billed cuckoo.
