View north from the summit: the trail back to the saddle (Salt Lake City is below the smoke)
To the north the trail switchbacks along the ridge. The spot where I first saw the fire is just around the knob on the left side of the photo; the saddle is at the near edge of that long, relatively level section of ridgeline just beyond it. I shoulder my pack, grab my two walking poles, and move out briskly.
Time to go home.
