Ronald Keller | Published on 7/6/2026
Effective 7-4-26, the USFS has closed the Rain Creek Trailhead, and that may include Sacaton Airstrip. If winds develop due to thunderstorms over the Sacaton fire, the fire could easily spread to the southwest. The TFR in place is likely to expand soon and cover Sacaton Airstrip.
