Dang, I used to hike and camp a lot in that area. Hiking up Mount Holly and Delano Peak, watching the Mountain Goats, so sad. The Tushars were always my summer escape from the summer heat in the St. George area.
In 2021, I was camping up there with friends. We constantly smelled some sort of smoke. Took a while to figure out where it was coming from. Some idiots had just tossed still-hot campfire coals on the ground, and everything was smoldering, almost creating a root fire beneath the nearby trees.
We used almost all of our 10-gallon water containers to douse it, but got it out. This was a super close call.
