bonecollector777 Report post Posted April 3, 2017 There's no snow and I believe they open them March 31st anyway so I'd think you're ok but call Black mesa ranger district. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted April 3, 2017 I spoke the Heber Office last Monday and was told they had to send in a plow so SRP could put in the meter at WCL a few days before and were planning on opening the road around the 15th. Said they had just got 18", which I was surprised he said that as I flew over the lake on Sunday afternoon an my way back from NY and didn't see any snow.

AZ8 Report post Posted April 3, 2017 Youth turkey starts on the 21st, so worse case scenario another two weeks. If it's like any other year, it'll be open here pretty quick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted April 4, 2017 Youth turkey starts on the 21st, so worse case scenario another two weeks. If it's like any other year, it'll be open here pretty quick. It varies. A couple of years ago it was already open and a few years before that it was mid May. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northern Pintail Report post Posted April 4, 2017 Heard up to woods will open this week but past that will remain closed as there are still 3 foot snow drifts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJMauro12 Report post Posted April 4, 2017 I keep seeing this thread and thinking "for sale 300 rim road" I guess I stare at classifieds too often. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaffer62 Report post Posted April 5, 2017 One of the state's top high country spots for family fishing will be accessible! Starting this Thursday, FR 300 to Woods Canyon Lake is scheduled to be open, according to the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests. The rest of the road will be closed due to 2-3 foot snow drifts, and the Coconino National Forest side also has numerous drifts to remove in order to to make that part of the FR 300 clear. We will advise when the winter closure has been lifted. Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

knothead Report post Posted April 6, 2017 I use to take my kids to 4a for Jr. turkey and forest service always opened 300 rd 1 or 2 days before the opener. I once drove in during the middle of the night and got stuck in a snowdrift while pulling a trailer. Took 8 hours to dig out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Browns Report post Posted April 7, 2017 Does anyone know if the road is open on the West end along HWY 87? My wife and I were planning on going camping in that area, but if the road is close we will have to make other plans. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
