Arizona State Route 89A

There have been evacuations, damaged roads, rock slides, and transportation disruptions.

So as of Tuesday afternoon, they had some roads closed, like State Route 89A between Sedona and, I don't know how to say it, Kachina Village.

Those were closed in both directions with flooding and rock slides.

It's nice and funny in ancient Oregon.

There, they were providing emergency voting information for communities in Apache, Coconino, and Navajo counties.

Flooding closed some major highways, including State Route 89A.

Between Sedonia and Kachina Village, Flagstaff officials said city facilities were slated to reopen Tuesday.

Voting locations were expected to operate normally following Monday's flood response closure.

Recent and ongoing rainfall has provided conditions suitable for pile burning in multiple areas across the forest.

Smoke impacts are expected to be light and visible from State Route 89A at Mingus Summit.

Smoke may affect several locations, including the Verde Valley and Prescott Valley.

Smoke will be heaviest during ignitions, and as nighttime temperatures cool, it may linger in drainages and valleys.

Well, and don't forget the campers up just north of Sedona a week ago, you know, because of the fires just north of Sedona along Oak Creek there, they were stranded for like 24 hours.

They couldn't get to 89A.

And so they were able to get out safely, but not until Oak Creek receded.

And so, yeah, it can get dangerous quick.

Mingus Mountain, near Prescott Valley and Jerome.

For those looking to take a scenic drive, Mingus Mountain offers mountain forests and views of the Verde Valley along State Route 89A.

Located in Prescott National Forest between the Prescott area and Jerome, Mingus Mountain features a mix of ponderosa pines, oaks, and other mountain vegetation.

Deciduous trees provide seasonal color among the evergreen forests during autumn.

Visitors can enjoy the mountain scenery from designated overlooks or explore recreation areas and hiking trails near the summit.

State Route 89A provides access to Mingus Mountain, although drivers should use caution along the winding mountain highway.
