Reported at 60 acres with some expectation that it will burn out or be put out by rain I wasn't really sure what this lightning caused fire would look like. I stopped briefly near the Linda Vista trail and watched flames peak over the ridge and highlight the smoke in the sky - interesting but not so impressive. Driving farther north the view changed quickly and soon I stood with a handful of other people just inside Catalina State Park watching the fire - from here quite a bit more impressive...
