Gold Mountain Fire is the 3rd-largest active wildfire in Colorado, burning 1 mile north of Ouray and has grown 637 acres in the last 24 hours and spread northeast.
Latest update
The Gold Mountain Fire was discovered on June 27, 2026, at approximately 5:33 pm 2 miles northeast of Ouray, CO. Fire initially started burning in mixed conifer vegetation located on inaccessible terrain above the east side of Highway 550. Local, State, and Federal initial attack fire resources were ordered immediately. The fire spread quickly running up steep slopes. A local Type 3 Incident Management Team was assigned on June 27, 2026. Aviation resources were ordered throughout the next day, but high winds and terrain features shut down the use of aviation resources. Fire became very active, with group torching and crowning, increasing the fire growth to the east by 2,000 acres. Fire resources provided public safety and worked to protect structures. Rocky Mountain Complex Incident Management Team 3 was ordered on June 28, 2026, and took command on June 29, 2026, at 6 pm.
