This is the view from the Sugarloaf Mountain Trail looking mostly west showing fire damage and areas spared.
The Horseshoe II fire roared through the Chiricahua Wilderness in June, 2011. Much of the wilderness area was devastated by the fire an the floods that came with the 2011 monsoon. Valiant efforts saved much of the Chiricahua National Monument. The western 2/3's to 3/4's of CNM was saved by back fires and suppression efforts. The eastern 1/4 to 1/3 was hit hard but hit spotty. It always amazes me how a wildland fire can scorch an area with intense heat, but completely spare a couple of acres right next to it.
