The Uhl Hill fire inside Grand Teton National Park is burning near where the Teton wolf pack of days gone by used to den.
Meanwhile, outside Grand Teton, the Horse Creek fire in the Wyoming Range has grown from 800 to 1200 acres. The Nylander Creek Fire, south of the Horse Creek Fire, is 100 percent contained.
