Not this season, but a few seasons back, the Cameron Peak fire (the largest ever in Colorado), changed our plans for the latter part of the season since it burned in and around several favourite USFS campgrounds, and routes. It was a massive fire and the burn scars are a permanent part of the landscape of the Poudre Canyon northwest of Fort Collins.
We had a reservation at a campground on the eastern plains of Colorado, around Fort Morgan, about 75 miles from the closest part of the fire. Even that far out, there was a very heavy, eerie smoke in the campground (at Jackson Lake SP). It was so ominous to experience that forest fire that far away.
A new respect of what mother nature can throw at you.
