At first I thought it was just the odd one here and there, but all the fire rings I encountered and remember seeing on previous trips had either been rebuilt or cleared away. Many, like this one, had a supply of wood in them or nearby. Odd. It was like someone was preparing for a massive influx of hikers.

Another trailside fire ring — again rebuilt, stocked with wood and complete with some log benches. Backpacking the Big Piney Trail, February 2026. Copyright © 2026 Gary Allman, all rights reserved.
