I do see that this area was closed to shooting after January 16th. 2026, but that didn't seem to be an impediment to the target shooters. Off-Road vehicles were not a problem. There was some traffic noise from vehicles using Queen Valley Road. Area is particularly beautiful Sonoran desert, with some good rock collecting.
