After the Fire: Fallen Pine Tree, with New Aspen Grove and Miner's Candle
The Hayman Fire was set by an arsonist on June 8, 2002 and burned 138,000+ acres covering several counties in Colorado. On this Thanksgiving Day we revisited the Lost Creek Wilderness in Jefferson County. Fifteen years since the fire, we are beginning to see regrowth. This large pine tree, however, was felled by the fire. Some of it is charred and some of it is sun-bleached; a relic of tragic, senseless loss in our state's history.
