Oak Creek Canyon Road Reopens After Fire | Mesa News
Description
After nearly a month shut down by the Pocket Fire, Oak Creek Canyon’s SR 89A is finally open — thanks to firefighters who contained the blaze at over 80%. But the human cost is real: local businesses report $743,000 in losses during peak season, with century-old resorts like Forest Houses Resort hit hard. Coconino County is now seeking disaster loans to recover. While the canyon itself remains untouched and smoke is gone, business owners are rallying to reopen, support staff, and rebuild — grateful for the firefighters who saved their livelihoods.
