I just got a phone call from a friend who was evacuated from Rifle Mountain Park due to a wildfire only a few miles to the South and West. Apparently the fire is burning towards RMP. The park is closed until further notice. Hope you see this before heading up!

Here is where to get accurate reports for the Ward Gulch Fire. They seem to be updating it every morning.

Today's update is generally optimistic. Let's hope the weather stays favorable.

As of 9am this morning. Fire is 85% contained and...

"Rifle Mountain Park is open today to day use, and camping beginning tomorrow. "
