PHOTO: Two lightning-sparked wildfires are burning in the Saguaro National Park's Rincon Mountains east of Tucson.
The fires are burning in remote areas, in high elevations within the Saguaro Wilderness and were started by lightning strikes from a thunderstorm that passed through the area on Thursday, according to a news release from the park.
Smoke may be visible from Tucson, Redington Pass, Mescal and surrounding areas.
The Spud Rock Fire was reported at about 4:30 p.m. Thursday and is about 10 acres in size. It is estimated to be located within a section of network trails in the Manning Camp area, just west of the junction of the Heartbreak Ridge Trail and the Switchback Trail that leads to the Spud Rock campground.
The Mica Bowl Fire was reported Friday about 9 a.m. It is estimated to be about two acres in size.
