Myrtle Trail # 30 is host to the Dude fire, the worst fire in Arizona's recent history, burned through this area. Particularly devastating in the loss and complete destruction of wildlife and their habitat. Plants are just now beginning to comeback since a great deal of topsoil was lost due to heavy rains after the fire. Many examples of the fire can be seen from this trail.
