Mt. Adams Horse Camp - Fire Update

I recieved this information today and thought I'd share.

The Mt. Adams Horse camp is still closed due to the Cold Springs fire that started on July 13. It has consumed about 8,000 acres of National Forest, Yakima Reservation, DNR, & private timberlands. The NF and Reservation took the biggest hit. They presently have about 45 miles of firehose laid out and are trying to build a 300' fire line around the burned area. There are 14 Hotshot crews still assigned to the fire and about 1000 firefighters were involved. Some demobilization is taking place.

The trails near camp (# 54,# 38, # 39, # 51 and the lower Loop-no number) were not affected. Gotchen Trail # 40, Cold Springs Trail # 72, Snipes Mt. # 11, Pine Way Trail # 71 suffered heavy fire so it will be a while before they are opened up.
