Nat Fire Sit Aware - Their hot spot detectors show something in Baldy Bowl and something on Thunder right now (15:56). I hope these are backpacking stove review and false positive.
EDIT to add: Alert Wildfire Cams in that area - of which Bailey Peak is one

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.dima wrote: Sat Jul 13, 2024 7:28 am So the whole Icehouse Canyon area is closed?? Doesn't that seem a bit excessive?

So access to our public lands is now governed by a private business? https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/angeles/ ... ?aid=89397

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.Blaise wrote: Wed Jul 31, 2024 10:04 pm If you want to hike PCT just buy a ski lift ticket! Makes a lot of sense.

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.
