Trail Springs Fire 2023

The Trail Springs Fire is located on the San Juan National Forest, west of Pagosa Springs. The lightning-caused wildfire is in steep, thickly-forested terrain above West Devil Creek, about three miles northwest of Chris Mountain. Rain and snow during Thanksgiving week have dampened fire behavior. Interior pockets of vegetation continue to smolder and burn out, but no significant fire activity is expected. A second round of moisture is anticipated over the Thanksgiving holiday.

The San Juan National Forest Pagosa Ranger District is now managing this, the Bear Creek, and the Mill Creek 2 fires. Fire managers have used tactics that protect values while developing fire control lines with the best probability of success. An area closure is in effect.
