Stoner Mesa Fire

West of Rico in Dolores County

Tuesday – 5 Aug 2025 – 8:00pm

Thick smoke is moving into north Archuleta County. It is from the 200 acre Stoner Mesa Fire.

The Stoner Mesa Fire has come back to life after being relatively quiet for a week.

From San Juan National Forest, “Fire managers on the San Juan NF are responding to Stoner Mesa Fire, located north of Highway 145 on Stoner Mesa. Dolores County Sheriff’s Office has issued an evacuation of Stoner and Taylor Mesa to Highway 145 on San Juan National Forest. Evacuations will focus on dispersed campers and recreationists in the described area. We will provide more details once they are available.
Air support is on-scene and fire managers are building a plan for suppressing the fire. Updates will be provided as they are available.
Smoke is visible from Hwy 145, Hwy 160, and the surrounding communities.”

I’ll have a full weather update tomorrow.

I grew up in Montana where my love of the mountains is rooted. I served in the Air Force, forecasting aviation weather, for 24 years. I had eight assignments and my favorites were Colorado, Alaska, Korea, and Germany. I deployed several times, including to Iraq and Afghanistan. After RV traveling for nine years, Shawn and I found paradise in Pagosa. Here we enjoy playing outside in the spectacular San Juan mountains!
