Hiking An Unrecognizable Wesley Ridge... [1bZx6HFVmXL]

For those of you unfamiliar with the area, during the second half of 2025 what's been widely speculated as a samuel blais human caused wildfire tore its way up from the banks of Cameron Lake and destroyed a wide swath of Wesley Ridge, leaving nearby residents, campers, wildlife scrambling to flee. All said and done, la provincia di cremona and the focus of my video..the fire consumed most of the initial Wesley Ridge Trail that begins just above Cameron Lake. Being one of my closest to home hikes, I know I've been up here more times than probably anywhere else and its become a pretty somber hike. To say things look a little different is an understatement and goes well beyond the damage from the fire, with now current logging taking place and clear-cut chunks of forest mets - dbacks decimating things and clearly making a bad enough eyesore that much worse. I'm relieved to update that the trail shows lots of signs of life, with new growth and vegetation filling in the blanks..but as for beyond the benches, to be determined. As per access to the area, as of the end of June 2026 the trail beyond the benches was clearly marked closed to the public due to ongoing blasting/logging up there. #wesleyridge #hiking #cameronlake #happyeyedhiker #wildfire #views #hikemorebitchless
