Trail work with the Bigfoot Trail Alliance was cut short after the 2AM lightning storm that has apparently lit off 19 fires in the #MarbleMountainWilderness including this one among the Sky High Lakes. The air was actually clearer in the basin even though it had it's own smoke source.

After #hiking out past a little fire, it was a bit baffling why I was barreling toward this pyrocumulonimbus and smoke mess. A lot of smoke, but no roads closed so I made it home.

This is the #DeepFire in the #TrinityAlpsWilderness seen from the Stuart Fork boat launch.

OMG stay safe!
Once again fire and smoke dashes my plans for hiking in the Trinity Alps, or even camping on the Trinity river. More thunderstorms on the way.
