Recent Harrison Pass Update

[Harlen]

Hey Dap, you guys should check this out:

from Mavericks Fire Report:

Early this afternoon, a wildfire was reported [East Creek Fire (SEKI) 7/7] in the wilderness of Kings Canyon National Park by a patrolling trail ranger. Named the East Creek Fire, it is currently ten-acres, and is burning two-thirds of a mile south of the Bubbs Creek Trail and west of the East Creek Trail, about eight and half miles east of Roads End. The greatest growth potential currently exists on the east/southeast side of the fire....

... No trail closures are in place at this time. Trail guards are in place on the East Creek Trail to connect with hikers ascending south in the direction of East Lake and Lake Reflection, and will advise or escort hikers through the section of trail closest to the fire....

You may want to keep tabs on this fire- or count on Maverick to do so, and read his updates in the wildfire thread, under:

2018 Fire and Smoke Impact Reports, in the HST category: Conditions, Reports and Information .

Thank you to all of you who took time to reply to my post/question about Harrison Pass. I think we are going to avoid Harrison (and other nearby passes) and stick to the trail this time. We will also monitor the fire in the area.......Again, thank you and safe packing to all.
