 In 1938 , several monuments were erected by members of the CCC to honor those killed and injured during the Blackwater fire . The largest and most accessible is along U.S. Route 14 / 16 / 20 . Another memorial was erected the same year near the location where Alfred Clayton and his crew perished . A third memorial was placed where Urban Post and his crews waited out the firestorm on the rocky ledge that was later named Post Point . Clayton also had several geographic locations named in his honor , including Clayton Mountain . Though only the roadside monument can be reached by car , the other two monuments can be visited by trail , which is a 10 @-@ mile ( 16 km ) round @-@ trip hike .
