Granite Mountain Hotshot Memorial Site Opens

  • Wednesday, November 30, 2016
  • Highway 89, two-miles south of Yarnell, AZ

The Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial State Park will open to the public on November 30, 2016.

The trail to the memorial site requires a seven-mile round-trip hike. Along the trail are 19 stone plaques honoring each of the fallen Granite Mountain Hotshots and six interpretive signs that tell their story. Steel and stones now surround the barren earth to protect and preserve the area where the hotshots bravely made their last stand. A quiet path and benches offer a space to reflect.
