The Willow Ridge trail was a single track for about a half mile and then emptied out onto a firebreak. The firebreak had seen a lot of activity from the firefighting crews.

Looking back over at the charred top of the Blue Ridge (and the evil Poverty Flat road) from the firebreak section of the Willow Ridge Trail.

A good portion of the Willow Ridge trail had been obliterated and was now a 4 lane wide dozer cut. I think this was the site of one of the southern boundary intentional backfires
