Judging from the InciWeb maps, it's pretty clear that the fire was started
on or near the trail.  So far it looks like the fire has burned about 3/4 of
a mile of trail, about half of which was wooded and the other half was in a
previous burn area.  If it spreads down the hill to the west, though, it
could impact a much longer length.
