    logo_arizonaemergencyinformationPrescott AZ (July 10, 2013) – Two sets of memorial boards dedicated to the 19 fallen Granite Mountain Hotshots are available for viewing. One set is posted at the intersection of Hwy 89 and W. Hayes Ranch Road. A second set available for the first time today from the Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial Overlook established adjacent to Hwy 89 in Yarnell. For the Yarnell overlook, a flagpole raised at the incident location will be visible in the distance.

    Today, access to the Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial Overlook in Yarnell will be by shuttle service ONLY from a parking area located at the intersection of Hwy 89 and W. Hays Ranch Road. Vans will be available to transport individuals. Limited restroom facilities will be provided.

    Persons planning to visit the site today should plan for hot weather and long delays. Plan ahead by bringing food /drink, sunscreen, hats /umbrellas, and needed medications, and by topping off gas tanks.

    Expect a high volume of traffic resulting in increased travel time and congestion that will likely result in extended delays. Please drive safely, as roads include curvy mountain passes with maximum speeds of 15 to 20 mph.
