The Vista fire continued to burn in the San Bernardino National Forest Thursday, covering more than 2,700 acres as of that morning, officials announced. About 500 firefighters are battling the blaze, which ignited Sunday around 1 p.m. on the south side of Lytle Creek and soon threatened the Mount Baldy area, including its nearly 100-year-old resort, U.S. Forest Service officials said. Portions of the Pacific Crest Trail were closed, in addition to trails below the resort.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. Mount Baldy is the highest point in Los Angeles County and boasts some of the most iconic trails in the region, including the 10-mile loop that climbs up Devil's Backbone. The resort will be closed Friday but might be able to reopen over the weekend, officials said in a Thursday afternoon update. 'We are not 100% in the clear just yet, but it appears that the greater Mt. Baldy area has dodged a bullet,' the resort said.
