The fire activity has diminished but smoke has begun to settle in the valley, according to the U.S. Forest Service. The agency warned that visibility may be impacted along I-70.

Crews will continue to secure the fireline around the fire on Thursday.

The U.S. Forest Service said the fire is under investigation but is believed to be human-caused.

The Meadow Creek and North Tenmile trailheads remain closed Wednesday evening.
