As planned, crews successfully completed 600 acres yesterday on the Hermosa prescribed fire located about 10 miles north of Durango.  Yesterday’s work finished the project for a total of 3,800 acres.  Depending on weather conditions, smoke may still be visible in the Hermosa Creek drainage for several more days. Fire personnel will continue to monitor the burn throughout the week.

The southern portion of the main Hermosa Creek Trail, as well as the Jones Creek, Dutch Creek, Little Elk, and Clear Creek Trails will remain closed for a few more days as crews monitor the burn. The northern portions of the Hermosa area trails are still under snow. No roads will be affected.

For more information contact Laurie Robison at 970-394-4327 or the Columbine Public Lands Office at 884-2512.
