Fires in Colorado

Well, I had hoped that this would happen later than it is but there are several fires in Colorado and one that we may have to watch because it is in Rocky Mountain National Park but it is in a remote location for now and only hiking trails in the area have been closed. It is on the west side of the divide so Estes Park is safe unless something extrodinary happens to push the fire over the divide.

Hopefully the weather conditions in the next week will improve and allow them to do some proactive work on the fire. That area has some chance of rain in the next week and we can only hope that they get some to make a difference.

For those coming from the west side of RMNP, keep track of information as we learned last year, these fires can move quickly with all of the beatle kill that we have in the mountains. I will keep track of what is going on and will make sure everyone here knows the situation.
