Took some pictures of the burned parts of the Mt. Wilson Trail above Sierra Madre today. The fire burned both sides of Little Santa Anita Canyon from the flood control dam (just above the houses) up to First Water. Trail is in good shape up to the crossover trail (except for a few dirt slides in the burn area that partially cover trail - these will be a constant problem until new growth occurs).
I was really tempted to do some off-trail exploring since there was no bush hindering such travel, but it clearly would lead to dirt/rock slides and damage to the burn areas. The southeast ridge of Jones Peak would no longer be a bushwhack, but that will have to wait awhile.
