I saw an ugly orange glow to the east from where I live in AJ (Silly Mountain area) this evening. I called it in and drove out to the Peralta School to see if I could see the glow. Yes I did, looks to be down by the Peralta TH.

They have officially listed this now as 100% contained, after having it sit in 85% monitor mode for a few weeks. There has been no detectable heat coming off the fire for 2 weeks. As far as I can tell it never made it much past Weaver's Needle. When desert hiking season returns late fall, trails starting from first water should be fine, but anything from Peralta TH may be a problem.

@nonot Hiked Peralta to the Lone Pine today and the trail is in great shape. Peralta past Fremont Saddle looks clear as far as the eye can see although you will be hiking in the burned area.
I posted a triplog with pics.
