I was climbing at tower on Sunday and was stopped on the approach by a Ranger. He warned our group not to hike near the Frog's Head/Indian Staircase area as there was a large forest fire above and below the cliff line. They inferred that it was the result of an untended campfire. Many sections of trail are closed off in the area across from the Gladie visitor's center.

"Wouldn't be wasting money hunting for, and rescuing, nut case city folk that come down to the mountains and hang out over rocks and then fall."

Hilarious? I think so.

I thought you left Young'ns, why don't you stay away?

Leave? Never, more like silent observer. Plus I spend way to much time looking through the online guidebook. I'll never leave.
