9 News just reported a wildfire in Rocky Mtn Ntl Park but they have not details please let us know if you hear anything.

I have friends that were headed that way this weekend to look at the changing leaves.

Mountaindollar...unless there is a new one that I haven't heard about there has been one burning for a while but it is in the uninhabited area with barely any trails. It is called the cow creek fire and you can read about it here:

ok, just went to 9 news and apparently trail ridge is closed for another fire on the west side of the park and the fire hasn't been picked up yet by inciweb. We are currently looking for more info so we can post about it. It appears to be about 5 acres in size.

The Onahu Fire started this afternoon in the Kaweeneeche Valley. While the fire is not threatening any structures or visitors, it has caused park officials to close Trail Ridge Road. The road is expected to be closed throughout the night.
