A burn area in Sequoia National Park is still smoldering in at least one spot nine months after it first began to burn, the National Park Service (NPS) said today.
In a press release, the NPS said that a group of scientists and fire personnel were surveying the site of the 2020 Castle Fire when they spotted a giant sequoia “smoldering and smoking” in a burned-over area known as the Board Camp Grove. According to the release, the burning sequoia is well away from firelines and trails, but is visible from the Ladybug Trail, a 7.2-mile out-and-back that leaves from the South Fork Campground at the park’s southern end.
