The MMT is in summer shutdown for maintenance and upgrades to the facility. We'll be back on the sky August 15.
The Incident Commander has approved the re-opening of the Mt Hopkins Rd to traffic. Please be advised that Forest Service will have personnel on site near kilometer 7 to continue to monitor the remnants of the Iron Springs Fire.
The Mt Hopkins Rd is closed due to a fire (20-30 acres) near kilometer 8. Staff have been evacuated safely. There will be no staff onsite today.
