Prescribed burn South Monroe Mountain- photos from Capitol Reef area

[Titans]

This Sunday afternoon on a calm sunny day we saw smoke drifting in to Capitol Reef NP. I was worried it was a wildfire, but it seems we witnessed a prescribed burn. Yesterday afternoon all of Boulder mountain was covered in smoke and it seemed to be drifting towards Boulder.
