I couldn't get the mountains in the shot, as they are about 400 miles to the west.
That pic was taken within the Wildlife Loop and was indeed within the southern half of the State Park. Looking at the fire map, I’m fairly sure it was part of the area affected by the fire.
I tend to be literal and so I don’t consider there to be mountains in the area. This is probably due to the name Black Hills. FWIW, I will readily agree that there are some very mountain-like grades to the north.
I just saw they are forecasting 1-3 inches of snow for Saturday, so that should be a big help with the fire containment. Hopefully everyone will stay safe.
