The Lake Mead National Recreation Area is closing access to four areas in Arizona until the wildfire danger has passed, Superintendent William Dickinson said.

No fires, smoking or fireworks -- including the "safe and sane" variety -- are allowed inside the recreation area, Dickinson said, because the area is in extreme drought.

The following areas were closed until further notice: public use and access to Mount Wilson backcountry, Greg's Hideout, Grapevine Mesa and Grand Wash Valley.

In the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument all roads are closed on land managed by the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
