News reports indicate that the Winding River Resort just outside of Grand Lake was completely destroyed by the fire. Can't find any information on the Elk Creek Campground, but the mapping would indicate that it probably sustained damage.
The East Troublesome Fire was also burning up toward the Kawuneeche Entrance/Vistors Center but had not reached that far north. Hopefully the weather will help to stall out the fire from moving further north.
On the east side spot fire outside Estes Park, parts of Moraine Park have been burned, around Cub Lake and Fern Lake, and appears that the fire may have gotten in to the Campground Loop D (the tent loop). Also burned are areas north of Moraine Park up to US 34 and the Beaver Meadows area.
Right now, here in Loveland, we've got probably 7-8 inches of snow and it's still coming down pretty good. 11 inches reported in NW Fort Collins and 17 inches reported in the area of the Mishawaka in Poudre Canyon. I so hope that they are getting dumped on big time on both the Cameron Peak and East Troublesome fires.
