High winds last night caused a wildfire to continue to spread at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The park is about five hours west of Colorado Springs.

Heavy winds that swept through Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park on Sunday night started “rapid fire spread” after a relatively slow day of growth, according to fire officials.

Wildfires at U.S. national parks are prompting evacuations and causing major disruptions as the effects of climate change are impacting the tourism season.
