Save Red Rock is at Mount Charleston National Recreation Trail.
1 day ago
On my bike ride yesterday at Mt. Charleston, I got great news from the NDOT patrol. The Mojave Fire crews were cleaning up the last of the gear and the roads would be open at 2pm. I took pictures of the saved greenery and felt so much gratitude for the fire fighters who had conquered this 2800 acre beast. #thankyoufirefighters. Save Red Rock is working on fire prevention in Lovell Canyon, the part of Toiyabe National Forest that is in Red Rock. This is a real concern. Let’s do our part to make it through another season unscathed. Thank you to all who are being extra careful during fire season, and especially to NDOT, the USFS, and the fire fighting crews. #heroes #staygreen #savemtcharleston #saveredrock #usfs #toyiabenationalforest #ndot ...

The Mahogany Fire is now 98% contained! It is very important to still follow the Fire Restrictions that are put in place for everyone's safety - especially for nature's safety!
"Fire managers are urging the public to avoid the areas of Lee and Kyle Canyon so crews can efficiently move firefighting apparatus. They also ask that drones not be flown anywhere near the fire area, as this can hamper the ability to use firefighting aircraft."
