Firefighters have been keeping an eye on it all along, but then it tripled in size over Friday night, to at least forty-five hundred acres.
High winds, with gusts up to seventy-five miles per hour, caused the massive growth, and also kept air crews grounded, during most of Saturday.
One structure was lost during Saturday, with several hundred others being threatened.
Nearly two hundred and fifty firefighters are now battling the blaze, and more help is on the way.
At least eleven hundred evacuation notices were sent out, and evacuees are being sent to Estes Park High School.
