Clark Canyon brush fire Eastside Sierra
|
This afternoon a brush fire started pretty close to the main parking for Clark Canyon. Seems like it's still going as of 6:45pm, with a white cloud visible from rt 395 with some yellow-orange tinge in its low core. |
|
As of this morning, 200 acres and still burning: inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/4… |

Glad you made it out! Looks like the fire took over Clark's and is continuing to burn more. |
|
That's terrible news. I see the latest update is 2,300 acres and 10% contained. The burn map does not bode well for the crags. Very upsetting! |
|
Does anyone have an update on this? As far as I can tell the fire is out but I'm not sure if any of the climbs are affected. |

Thanks.http://www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/2854820/Clark-Canyon-burning Pick up the thread at message #81 for images. Not as bad as I had originally thought. |

Some friends recently backpacked out of that area, and report that the fire wasn't bad and the climbing area unaffected. |

The rock is mostly unaffected, but the flora is toast: |
