Looking to Prince Mountain over part of the Blue Spring Valley. It's hard to tell unless you check out the original but there is lots of fire damage from the June-July 2017 Brian Head fire: The Brian Head Fire has torched more than 60,300 acres — or about 94 square miles — since it was sparked by a torch used to kill weeds. At the time, it was the largest fire in the US and had 1800 firefighters working it.

It ended up burning 71,000 acres total. Very interesting article about the start of the fire that got away from a resident: wasn’t just burning the pile of branches above the surface of the ground, it was also spreading underground, creeping through what’s known as duff, a thin layer of composting organic material just above the mineral soil... and then up a tree.
