Another fire is burning on the Bridger-Teton National Forest. The Highline Fire’s location corresponds with a map of lightning strikes from a September 19th storm that passed over the Gros Ventre Wilderness. The 1/4-acre fire is burning south west of Gros Peak in an isolated pocket of mixed conifer, willow and aspens near the Highline Trail. Due to low fire potential, no trails will be closed at this time. Firefighters will stay in the area over the next few days to inform visitors of fire activity and to relay fire information for use in planning an appropriate response for this fire. Hikers and hunters are advised to always use caution in the area of a wildfire, and should check trailhead signs before heading into the woods.
