Rocky Mountain National Park: Beaver Mountain Fire

Currently there is a fire in the Rocky Mountain National Park.  As of this writing (July 19, 2012), the fire is nearing containment: Story 1.  Lightening was suspected to be the cause: Story 2.

The Ute Trail that I summarized in the Select Trails section of the blog, was closed and has recently been opened:

This fire in no way should impact any of our plans.
