Hello all,
I would
like to remind you that The King Range National Conservation Area is in
campfire restrictions this summer (as we are every summer). If you plan to do
any backpacking in the King Range, please refrain from having campfires.
Several
times this summer I’ve seen evidence of campfires or have encountered folks
having campfires.
We can do better than this.

Also, this
summer we have already had 30+ acres burn due to an escaped campfire (see the picture below of Cooskie Creek).
The conditions
in the King Range are not conducive for campfires during the summer!
DRY DRY DRY
and often times Windy!
Even if
it’s foggy the vegetation is still very dry. Also, conditions change frequently
and rapidly here on the coast. I very often see the weather change from calm and foggy to hot and windy in an hour or less.
Do you want
to be responsible for causing a wildfire?
Please, do the right thing and stay wise out there.
