The Arizona Office of Tourism collaborated with outdoor recreation management agencies at the federal, state and local levels to create Responsible Recreation Across Arizona, a one-stop resource with guidelines on enjoying spectacular Arizona landscapes while adhering to COVID-19 physical distancing guidelines.

This guide contains the latest responsible recreation updates include statewide fire safety and current restriction information plus general guidance on summer recreation in the state’s deserts.
