    One of the docents during the Discovery Day festivities in the park spoke about this. Instead of burning in sections, starting near the top of the hill and working down, they started the fire at the bottom and let it burn upwards. Nearly made it to, and across, the highway. Docent said parts of it smoked for a week after.

    Looks like the prescribed burn got a little hotter than expected

    Thanks. It looks like they burned more than under brush. Perhaps they are trying to get the view of big trees available to passers by.

    Prescribed burn about 4 weeks ago.

    Haven’t been up to the cabin in about 6 weeks, and we noticed a recent fire from the park entrance to almost the 5,000’ marker along Hwy 4. Does anyone have any information on the cause for this fire? Thanks.
