    Video from the afternoon of May 20, 2026 -

    Based on initial assessments by firefighters and the flight imagery from an Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) module today, the Torrey Pines on Santa Rosa Island still exist and remain largely intact. The fire front came from south to north, and appears to have lost energy after burning through the non-native grasses downslope of the trees. By the time it reached the ridge along Upper Torrey Pines Road it transitioned into a backing fire with lower intensity and moved downhill towards the ocean. This type of fire tends to consume the understory vegetation and leaves the canopy largely intact.

    It appears that some small pockets of the Torrey Pines did burn with higher intensity within the larger stand. These pockets that sustained more damage were likely burned in short, uphill runs by the fire. This is typically caused by material like logs rolling down hill and carrying flame down, where it then burns up the slope with more vigor. This type of activity is common in areas with steep and rugged terrain like Santa Rosa Island.

    The National Park Service has special firefighters, known as fire effects crews that will go to this area taking measurements such as specific fire severity calculations and observations. This is not just a single snapshot but will be part of long-term monitoring of effects to better understand fire in this ecosystem.

  11. Holy crap, remind me to not hit any busy National Park this weekend. Wilderness should not be packed with more people than Times Square, or a Taylor Swift concert, to be optimally experienced.

    NPS: "Plan ahead for Memorial Day weekend at Zion National Park

    Visitors should expect heavy traffic, limited parking, shuttle bus lines and long waits as the park enters its busy summer season. Advance planning can help make the trip safer and more enjoyable."
