Does that mean it started near Stockton Flat?

my guess based on where the road is and that rock scar on the right, the start is around here

I was on the San Bernardino Peak trail today and could see the fire. I also heard helicopters probably dropping water or fire retardant.
Now there's the Poppy fire by Agua Dulce.

They've posted a
closure order for the Vista Fire. It affects trails around Baldy and Lytle Creek.

So the whole Icehouse Canyon area is closed?? Doesn't that seem a bit excessive?

I suspect they don't want hikers causing issues for the containment crews around Baldy.

If you want to hike PCT just buy a ski lift ticket! Makes a lot of sense.

The closed portion of the PCT is largely within the SBNF and thus not covered by a lift ticket.

I think Blaise's tongue-in-cheek point was that you can't enter the closure area presumably for public safety reasons, but if you're willing to pay a private third-party business some money, all of the sudden those safety reasons disappear. Amazing how that works.
