High Park on Fire

The view west from our deck:

Near Rist Canyon

At the time this picture was taken at noon today, it was a 200 acre fire. By 7:30 p.m. it increased to 5000 acres. It looked like the Horsetooth Reservoir was on fire this morning but in reality the High Park area is about 25 miles from here.  What a start to the Summer, two days ago it was the Camman fire, then Stuart Hole fire,  and  last month the Hewlett fire.
