Fourmile Canyon Wildfire

Fourmile Canyon WildfireWe went up to Rocky Mountain National Park today for a scenic drive. While at the Alpine Visitor Center about noon we saw what we first thought was a low cloud to the southeast. Danelle was the first to remark, "I don't think that's a cloud; I think that's a fire." And she was right.
