About 130 yards from the trailhead you enter an area that burned during a 2006 wildfire. To help with revegetation efforts after the fire the BLM installed fencing to keep hikers from walking on the regrowing flora. The cables are gone, but the wooden posts remain. Although most of the burnt trees or vegetation have decomposed, this area is still relatively devoid of plant life, demonstrating just how slowly vegetation in the desert grows.
