A title of Fire On The Mountain in a music blog would normally be something about a song called Fire On The Mountain by The Grateful Dead. But this is not a normal music blog. This is Mount Eldon and the Kachina Peaks Wilderness, just north of Flagstaff AZ. Well this is where some of my favorite summer time mountain bike riding is. Good bye Little Bear Trail.
The Schultz Fire started at approximately 11:09 am on Sunday, June 20th and is located west of north Highway 89, east of Flagstaff, and north of Mount Elden. The fire is currently more than 15,075 acres
The Schultz fire was caused by a campfire that was abandoned without being properly extinguished in the area of Schultz Tank, Little Elden Trail, and Forest Road 420.If you have ever been to Flagstaff AZ. Then you know by these pictures what was lost by one careless act. Some of the most beautiful forested areas in our state. At least they saved the inner basin. And some of the Eldon trails are still intact.
