WILLCOX, AZ - Bonita Canyon Drive will be partially closed on the mornings of June 14, 15, & 16, 2022 to prepare the road for monsoon rains.
Bonita Canyon Scenic Drive beyond the campground to the upper canyon trailheads and scenic viewpoints will not be accessible Tuesday - Thursday until 12:30 p.m. June 14 - 16. Crews will be cleaning out the accumulated brush in and near the drainage culverts. This work is necessary for proper water drainage to prevent road washouts during monsoon.
